Oh, wait. > FWIW, I'm also frequently on IRC (like now). I asked a question on #wikimedia-dev a little bit ago which is relevant to my research on this conversation, since it looks like I'm going to be part of this conversation whether I want to or not. As of a few minutes ago, I'm also on #wikimedia-design, which is probably a little more targeted. A big reason why we invest in an office rather than just have everyone everywhere work from home all of the time is that face-to-face conversations are often very high bandwidth and the type that many (most?) people are best equipped to deal with in a way that doesn't cause unnecessary escalation of tension. I made the offer for an in-person conversation because I think I can provide our office conversations with a healthy dose of "Helvetica Neue" skepticism, and I suspect Brad will be relieved that it won't be all on him to defend his viewpoint. I also suspect you and I may be reasonably well-aligned on this issue, too.
