Please point out if you find factual mistakes.

The reason was explained by our secretary.  He does not wish to be
caught in the middle.  (like now)

Hmm.... I had no intention to change Craig's original.  What he wrote
was an incomplete sentence referencing Steve's proposal.  These words
slipped in from Steve's when I tried to make a full proposal out of
them.  I think your interpretation of "deletes everything but clause 1
of this proposal" makes sense too.  I merely thought Craig was killing
clause 2.

I will second it either way.  (But I do not want to have 2 ways.)

Craig, please speak up which way you meant.  And let's move on.

Osamu
