Yes. Indeed. I think there are dangers associated reacting to quickly to
issues. I think most of us can point to instances outside LUGNet where a quick
reaction to perceived opinion on a given issue has made matters worse. Apart
from anything else, hastily implementing change on LUGNet may result extra
work for Todd{1}. However, there are area’s where quick decisions are
required – In Todd we trust.

too soon and debug forever".
