Koko, I for one don't doubt that your motives were pure and exactly as you stated them. Your objective (number 3) of putting the TB on record on the issue immediately conflicts directly with being as respectful to Randy as possible. Had you been willing to demote objective number 3 to lesser importance than objective number 2, you might have taken another approach. For example, delaying putting the TB on record until you had worked out a consensus proposal.
