the pre-xorlo gadri system, the extraordinarily intense attempts to fix
which led to the establishment of the BPFK and its completely
irreconcilable various goals.
!!!???
The gadri system had absolutely nothing to do with the establishment of
the byfy. It never even entered my mind.
The attempts to deal with gadri were primarily undertaken by the byfy
under Nick's leadership, and I cannot fault his efforts at leadership on
that issue.
It was my failure to get a revised cmavo list (compatible with CLL) and
the ensuing dictionary done despite many promises over many years that
made byfy necessary. The job needed to be delegated out of my hands to
a committee, while preserving all the good aspects that my prior role
(which was too much akin to benevolent dictator before Cowan, and was at
risk of becoming so again when he indicated burnout after CLL was done).
