Actually no, I don't—spfbis is apps area, not int area.   Lucky me... :)

See the message I just posted. Yes, the additional repetitions make it take longer, but really it's not so hard to say, "Yep, that's already on my list of issues" and toss the repetitious message aside.

IMHO that's not a job for the sergeant at arms.  The SAA is responsible
for how things are said.  The shepherd -- or supershepherd or whatever
-- would be responsible for the substance.

That suggestion makes me want to say something a little rude.
Managing the discussion is the chair's job, not the sergeant-
at-arms's.

Yeah, again, that's me. Also see my recent message.

That said, I do wish it didn't take intervention on my part. I wish people would realize they're being repetitive. I wish people would stop responding to the repetition. (Neither is going to change my opinion of the consensus.) But then again, I also wish I had a pony.
