Holy cow, please cool it. I think the "or less" part was relevant, as was the subsequent sentence which characterized that sentiment as "hubris". Also, the subsequent email when I made explicit the fact that I was more in agreement with you than you interpreted. So, in case you're really really really not getting the message I'm trying to make so explicitly clear to you: I AGREE WITH YOU. So, no more punching, pretty please? > > There seems to be a fundamental misapprehension that it will be easy > to "fix all the violations". I don't think it will be easy.

I'll be satisfied with whatever you choose and will follow your lead. Jason
