I think I would rather have tabled it for now, and tried to resolve it with further work. However, let us not forget how much work Lana Lee did, how much hard work others such as Fred and Dave provided, and how much we all gave of our time to help with suggestions and ideas on this List. I saw that John Ayotte worked for hours on this as well, as did many others. It is hard work to be on the board, and a difficult task to change something that has existed for 40 years. Tie that in with so many opinions of what the standard means, and we should recognize the efforts and thank those involved. I did personally and now do so publicly. I will take only one position on this, thank you for all who worked so hard New Illustrated Standard for the good of this breed.
