It's not going to be a rapid change (or at least I hope its not). With
a change this big, I am planning to not take action until around a month
from now, maybe two (plenty of time) Until then, I think I'll answer my
E-mail, and schedule at least one debate (on a chat server).

>Just my option

Yes, it is your opinion, and I respect it
