You may have missed my earlier comments Mike (and for everyone else's sake I won't repeat them) but I agree with you entirely on this. I want everyone to have an opportunity to be heard and for sufficient time for some form of concencus to form on the different issues that come up. I _will_ be setting some time limits however, as I did for the selection of a name. I want _most_ decisions to be based on concencus - however, and everyone please read my lips here, this was originally my idea, and if the concencus on any particular topic is not something that I can agree with, I make no guarantee that the proposal which goes to the AGA MC will reflect that concencus rather than my vision. I have invited people to help, not relinquished ownership of the idea. B.T.W. the other points you made are good and well taken.
