I've found our various conversations/arguments sometimes challenging, but always stimulating and with a view to improve things.

Another related aspect I often see: when a gap or unintended flaw/misinterpretation of the normative wordings is identified, the immediate reaction I usually see is a "no, the SC is perfectly fine as it is" round of apologism. After some lengthy back and forth, it often then turns into a "ok, there might be a gap, but how bad is it? It's too late to change it now / it's too much of an edge case / who'd do that anyway?" ... which is a bit frustrating when we're trying to build a reasonably solid set of guidelines. Anyway, I'll stop piggy-backing here to get my own rant in :) Have a good one, Wayne! P -- Patrick H.
