Ryan -- a tip for interacting with other people in a shared development environment: avoid the words "should", "must", and definitely "absolutely must". Not everybody agrees with you, and these kinds of phrases are poor leaders into a process where you are trying to reach a consensus. They can alienate people from what should be a community process, by making it sound as if your thoughts and decisions are the only ones that matter. I would suggest that you be a bit more careful, and phrase things as "your thoughts" or "your suggestions." Propose things, rather than issue demands. Your job is to reach consenus and to move the project towards a shared vision, not to say where it "absolutely MUST" go. Give us your thoughts and let us reach the same decision with you. The people sharing this "work" environment will feel much better about their participation and will enjoy it much more. Cheers, -g -- Greg Stein, http://www.lyra.org/
