Part of consensus building is not expecting everyone to think the same way you do. We try to put both the tortoises and hares to work here, but each has to work at their own pace, and some temporal displacement necessarily results. A healthy community can put up with a certain amount of tension and compression. It's called "tensegrity" when it helps hold us all together. It's probably called something else when it drives us apart. Please aim for the tensegrity, because I don't want to figure out what to call the other. Larry
