I suspect that after the "waiting period" elapses, the proposal will get more support than last time. Personally I have no problem with a discussion period now and a vote when the time is appropriate, although the net.gods might deem it appropriate to intervene. Does anyone know how far off "6 months" is? -- Ed. A. Hew , XeniTec Consulting Services or if you're really stuck: ..!{watmath|lsuc}!xenitec!eah
