[as WG member]

I think it would be more productive if we stay focused on trying to improve flooding speed/efficiency here. How about let's get some of the proposals being mulled over actually written, and provide some data, and leave all the hand-wringing and theorizing about being too-successful for after we've shown we could be? :)

Thanks,
Chris.
