But that was a rare occasion when I was trying to establish and document
consensus, and was sending for general approval or rejection statements 
of what I thought people could agree on. It was before the BF had been 
announced. But everybody has the right to go the toilet, though on
jboske it means that while you're gone another 200 unignorable messages 
have arrived.
