When somebody had spent too much time on the river, we towboat folks would recognize the intemperate condition - we had a name for this that can't be repeated on a family-friendly list - and the person involved, whether pilot or deckhand or cook, would have to go home for a while and have some shore leave for restoring equanimity. The charitable term for this might be "occupational fatigue". I commend the Access Project task force members for their commitment, stamina, and sheer duration of effort, but perhaps a little shore leave is in order.
With so many shortfalls in budgets up and down the line, a good sense of humor is really valuable. Not always possible, and long-term list members will recall my vexation with Stonewall DFL some time back, so I'm no prize. But still, smiles are so much nicer than frowns.
