	Don't guess. Don't project. Do not put words in my mouth. Do
 not attack paper tigers.

	I am saying that even though I believe it is a great idea, it
 is something we all must believe in, not be told to do so by a bunch
 of people who occasionaly pontificate from their tech ctte char.

	I believe it is a great idea. I have thought it thorouh, and
 convinced myself. As AJ said, people must think so for themselves,
 not told it by authority figures.

	The important part is not the GR. The important part is
 whether people so affirm their support for the idea of releasing
 sarge and transition periods.

	See what happens when you create paper tigers? You get
 paradoxes. Stop trying to put yourself in my shoes, you are not
 having a great day.

	Now stop imagining what I probably meant to say and listen to
 what I _am_ saying.
