Greetings,

In reagrds to both replies, I do need to reveal a
fatal character flaw that I have.  I often write
things simple and bluntly.  Thus, they have a tendency
to come across as accusatory.

This sin't the case really.  Rather, the term
de-accession was brought up in the case of the
Jeremiah O'Brian which was de-accessioned then went on
to to win the World Ship Trust's annual award.

Thus, the use of the word "forced" was probably
improper, but I was wondering if it could be used as
one of those "last ditch efforts."

But you are correct, the steps of cooperation, funding
etc. are all to be considered the first steps.  I
appreciate the reminders and the replies.
