Is it premature to ask for a position list on some of the controversial items?
In a word: Yes.
In previous drafts, Ned & I have had a great deal of success with the
following strategy: work out a position on the issues that is
satisfactory to both of us BEFORE posting a draft to the list. I think
that this strategy has been very valuable in focusing the debate and
moving it towards closure, and is especially appropriate this time
around, given that Ned & I have been arguing opposite sides of one or
two issues.
So, please don't regard this as an attempt to be imperious or
dictatorial, but I think we're most likely to make progress at this
point if Ned & I can have a few days to hash out a position we can
jointly defend before we return to the group with anything like a new
draft or even "the present score". -- Nathaniel
