    Hi,

    While editing the Counter MIB, I found a serious flaw in the LCRC-21
    and LCRC-22 issues/resolutions.

    The abstract counters 'Local/RemoteStorageKOctets' should indeed
    be moved _up_ from the Activity level (Work, Datastream, etc.) to the
    Monitoring table in the Counter MIB (like the Counter spec).

    But the abstract counters 'Input/OuputMessages' should be replicated at
    _both_ the Activity level and the Monitoring (Service) level (just like
    the comparable 'Input/OutputKOctets') because they're customer billing
    counters (for message-oriented Services like EmailIn/Out, FaxIn/Out).

    Customers will object (correctly) to be charged for Message traffic
    for Maintenance jobs.

    This may become slightly clearer than the above explanation when folks
    review the revised Counter MIB, which I still hope to post sometime
    this evening (possibly without a few body text updates).

    Cheers,
    - Ira
