[NA-Discuss] [At-Large] Monthly ALAC Teleconference 13 May 1330 UTC

[Jeffrey A. Williams]

Roberto and all,

  What's most important, and really the only thing that
is important at all is that whatever decision that has
the majority consensus, however unmeasured it is or may
be, is one that, 1.) has a more than reasonable chance
of actually solves the problem being decided, and,
2.) if a compermise a decision that also actually
solves the problem.  Anything else is pure political
theater and folly.

  As for "Taking your hands away for it" as you say,
perhaps, and I strongly but kindly suggest that you 
first remove both of your feet from you mouth.  >:)
I also suggest that you cease your not so well done
spinmiestering, as it has become clear yet again that
your propensity for misconstruing intentionally many
things and words presented as Danny earlier again
clearly pointed out.  Such is demonstarating to the
attentive, inconsistant with good ethics.

>> There is nothing difficult here. The ALAC will express the

>> I do not see any single reason why the ALAC should help carry

>Yes! Stay pure and uncontaminated by all the durty things of the real world,
