Yeah. It seems that way. :-)

I appreciate your concern for my feelings, but you needn't worry. As you intuit, open decision-making in communities is sometimes slow and frustrating, but patience, openness, and candor make for a better result on the whole. The process allows us, indeed expects us, to advance our thoughts passionately. But this isn't my first rodeo, so I don't expect that my emotive state will suffer. Perhaps the slings and arrows of past misfortunes afford me a bit of perspective.

I have great respect for the Big Kahuna and his lieutenants on the UTB, and their decision would of course be dispositive. (As Mel Brooks once said, in a certain cinematic classic, "It's good to be the king.") However, this bug affects many people, who may have substantive comments, and allowing sufficient time for all to consider the issue and participate is a necessary part of the process.
