excuse me, but you want to do creative discussion at the irc conference? you
ARE aware that roughly half the list will not be attending? plus I thought
that this list was the place where such things should happen?

confused.

sorry for the flamebait, but you ARE NOT in a position of authority if 100%
of the people don't support you. (which is a different thing than "if not 100%
of...").

it doesn't matter how good it is if nobody agrees. that's one of the reasons
why I want to have the style guide created by everyone in a community
effort.


anyway. I think the topic is really covered now. I'll try to restrain myself
from posting any more flamebaits and get to work instead.
