In that case, Kent, I suggest that you stop wasting
everyone's time discussing trees, when in actuality,
you live in another forest ;-)
As for the rest of your note, even if the whole world
supported the BMW draft (and they don't), I'd say you
were wrong. We DON'T need a powerful Names Council,
and we DO need a (general/at large/individual/pick
your term) membership.
IMHO & FWIW.
