The problem is that you are doing the same thing I was just talking
about: looking at the things you care about, and leaving out
everything else.

It's possible that there simply isn't energy to do this work, in which
case we definitely shouldn't do it.   But what we are trying to do
with our document was to try to break us outside the box of just
looking at this from our various individual perspectives, and instead
look at it from the broader perspective of as complete a set as
possible of the people who have reason to care about this issue.   I
still think this work is worth doing, but I will agree with you that
it does not appear that there are a lot of people on the mailing list
who have any enthusiasm for doing it.

If we were to do it, I really don't see the point in being
parsimonious in our descriptions of the proiblems.   We should be as
concise as possible, of course, but no more concise than that.
