Ah, O.K. so it was a pressing enough issue to have a flame war and snipe on
and on at Greg about but not actually pressing enough to discuss sensibly
and form a new policy. Fine. I'm happy with it as it is, I was merely
allowing the, until now, vocal factions to make the change they all thought
was so important.

But this is the "correct" way to go about chartering it and making the Evil
Greg ;-) bow to pressure.

I thought some people considered their points valid, sadly many of them were
lost in the noise. I certainly didn't read all the posts on this thread
because it got so nasty and I _give_ a damn. I doubt anybody (except
possibly Eagle) really kept up.

All I'm saying is there is a now a valid forum for discussion, I doubt
anybody has the energy to be nasty anymore. If you feel you have a valid
point, make it, we'll discuss it. If not, the FAQ stays the same and all
that bandwidth was wasted.
