What, we can't change a procedure unless the set of people who previously
OK'd it now agree to change it? I don't think so. A hum is a hum is a hum.
You're not proposing a change in procedure. You're proposing to ignore
one. Those are entirely different things.
You've also snipped out the entire portion of my message where I talked
about actually changing the procedure, and why that may actually be a
good thing. I can't tell if you're deliberately trying to confuse the
issue by arguing against a straw-man that I did not actually propose, or
if you just didn't understand what I wrote previously. If the latter I
apologize, and would be happy to clarify if necessary.
