However (yes, there's a however), there is a strange tone creeping into this<br>discussion. I "read" that tone as one of unhealthy "me versus you"<br>competition and not an open, impartial dialog about what "theme"

The idea behind the "battle royale" was a take on the silly wrestling matches that go on. Wow... can't people have a little bit of fun? I in no way meant to be divisive.

It doesn't matter to me. I am simply taking what I saw as a lack of progress and trying to help things go forward. If I am getting in the way of said progress, I'll gladly disengage in what I'm doing. I was only trying to help.

Why are you trying to ascertain this? Why don't you allow the community to<br>ascertain this, based on what they see (and not what they hear that they<br>will see in the future)?</blockquote><div><br>To get something moving forward. Aren't we on a short time frame?

will of the community (or Dries). It seems clear -- from your<br>"battle"-based web site and your comments -- that you have already<br>"ascertained" what you want, and that is the theme you are helping with.
