Let PP be a regular 20062006-gon. A diagonal is called [i]good[/i] if its endpoints divide the boundary of PP into two parts, each composed of an odd number of sides of PP. The sides of PP are also called [i]good[/i]. Suppose PP has been dissected into triangles by 20032003 diagonals, no two of which have a common point in the interior of PP. Find the maximum number of isosceles triangles having two good sides that could appear in such a configuration.

Original LaTeX notation
Let $P$ be a regular $2006$-gon. A diagonal is called [i]good[/i] if its endpoints divide the boundary of $P$ into two parts, each composed of an odd number of sides of $P$. The sides of $P$ are also called [i]good[/i].
Suppose $P$ has been dissected into triangles by $2003$ diagonals, no two of which have a common point in the interior of $P$. Find the maximum number of isosceles triangles having two good sides that could appear in such a configuration.
