I'm sure many of us agree. However, "The Apache Way" (http://theapacheway.com/) dictates that we make decisions on e-mail and nowhere else.

Since we can't decide anything through other means of communication, I don't see the value of getting this stream of text sent to my inbox. I most likely wouldn't read it, because of The Apache Way. I view this as a flaw of "The Apache Way", but I accept it. Joe
