Your view. I see it differently. The then-OGB voted prematurely, in  
my absence, on the assumption I would in some way "block" something.  
As others have stated, premature optimisation is the enemy of  
excellence.

If you want a vote, have it in January after the heat has dissipated  
and we have experience to feed wisdom.
