Yes, I can see your point. I didn't want a hundred postings saying
essentially "sounds good to me". But I thought a dialogue might begin that
would lead to some better ideas. I think the main problem with the idea is
that it would constitute a lot of work. It would also need to be incorporated
into Tilden's writings and procedures, which would create the guidelines
mentioned earlier. Otherwise it carries no weight what so ever in the BEAM
community. It is sometimes hard to contribute to a practice usually
associated with science, when it has many characteristics of a cult.
