I read in the weekly policy news that this proposal was stalled. I
have been a litle busy lately so I havn't had the time to follow it.

After reading the mail archive I believe that this proposal is better
than nothing. To make a long message short:

I second this proposal.

I congratulate you. Happy goldfish bowl to you, to me, to everyone,
and may each of you fry in hell forever.
