Re: Donation of Admin Console -- Take a Deep Breath

"Take a Deep Breath Day"

I just want to point out that we're hearing from the same three people
over and over and we need more feedback from others, so...

I'd like to openly ask Dain, Aaron, and Geir have a "Take a Deep
Breath Day" and give people some time to catch up think and post some
questions and a little space to get in the conversation.

That said, we haven't heard from a lot of people and we need you to
stop coding for a moment, catch up, think and post some comments.

Please do form your opinion as your opinion and post it; let's try and
get out of the habit of only responding to someone else's opinion.


Very respectfully,
David

Maybe we should use the FOX News slogan and call it "Fair and Balanced Day"  :)

This is going to sound strange, but honestly, I'm thinking my opinion
isn't worth too much to me right now.  At this point, I'd rather do
more listening than talking.

I proposed the "Take a Deep Breath Day" idea so that we'd ensure to  
treat each other's posts in the most positive light possible, to  
prevent us from accidentally misreading intent and having the  
discussion turn acrimonious or personal.  I never intended it to be a  
way to halt the flow of conversation to let people catch up, but if  
people need time, great...

So what do you think about these issues, David?
