I disagree with slowing down; an immediate response, however general, also
keeps the topic hot. And as I said, I'm not attached to my draft--I fully
expected it to be shredded, I just wanted to get the ball rolling. Can
someone volunteer to be point person on this? Isn't this Media's ballcourt?
Can communication on this be consolidated into one thread via OBgroups?
There's a lot of bits flying around out there. (fyi, while i did send out
the first draft, i am not the person who called for a response by the end
of the day).
