I think you're looking too closely at the problem to have an objective
view. While I appreciate your continued input and feedback, I don't believe
you're fairly judging my motives or my objectives. Who says I'm not
considering alternatives? You have to keep in mind the RFC is still in
draft. I'm technically not even putting up for discussion yet because I've
failed to make a coherent proposal. I get that. I'd still like to hear what
others have to say. I will make my own assessments of the collective facts.
In the mean time I'm OK with the discussion of my initial proposal being
objectionable. I gladly embrace failure as I expect to learn from it.

I'm not sure why it is you feel as though me having a technical discussion
with the community equates to me agreeing with everyone else's opinion or
ending a discussion on the note that it is no longer useful because
everyone disagrees with me.

I gather valuable knowledge from disagreement and intend to pursue those
disagreements until I can reach a fully objective outlook on all of the
moving parts at hand. I don't wish to abandon this discussion because the
initial proposal has no support.

I'm sorry if you feel that you are no longer interested in the discussion,
but can you at least refrain from cluttering the discussion aggressively
with your synopsis? Everyone is providing valuable objective outlooks and
those that have no more objectivity have seemingly refrained from further
discussion. That I'm perfectly OK with. What I'm not OK with is someone
that feels they must terminate the discussion because there is
disagreement. I am in the very process of understanding others'
disagreements. Please do not impede on my efforts by assuming you have any
idea what is going on in my head.

Thanks.
