If you're willing to accept a compromise, you rank it above further discussion. The very point of ranking FD above an option is to indicate that you don't find a specific option an acceptable solution at all, and would rather have futher discussion than accepting it. Don Armstrong -- Of course, there are cases where only a rare individual will have the vision to perceive a system which governs many people's lives; a system which had never before even been recognized as a system; then such people often devote their lives to convincing other people that the system really is there and that it aught to be exited from. -- Douglas R.
