It was intended to be an amendment of Steve's proposal taking the contrary view; I didn't say anything about the disposition of firmware in etch in it because I thought that was a separate issue from Steve's proposal. As far as placing it or not placing it on a separate ballot, it would be nice to have it separate, as it deals with clarifying the firmware problem before exceptions are granted, but I don't have any objections to it being on the same ballot as the other options. [In case of a split, I would expect the clarification option to be overridden to the extent necessary by the other options; either by being voted on slightly before or by a specific amendment saying such.] Don Armstrong -- Junkies were all knitted together in a loose global macrame, the intercontinental freemasonry of narcotics. -- Bruce Sterling, _Holy Fire_ p257 http://www.donarmstrong.com http://rzlab.ucr.edu -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
