I agree fully. I never wanted to "fight" with you or anyone, I basicly
wanted all these discussions on details to be either not happen at
all, or be carried out by the people who are actually going to
implement the ideas.

What we did in Beryl was more or less just that; loosly defined teams.
 It worked quite well, even if it wasn't anything more than a way of
stating what everyone allready knows. It's not like beeing put in a
team will make you work on something else, it'll just allow you to
leave other tasks to other teams. If everyone should have to be
convinced of an action before it can be carried out, this will go
extremly slow. The process so far is a good demonstration of that.

This will be my last post on this list for a long time, unless someone
address me.
