Reflections

So far, this has been a rather shallow discussion. To illustrate, this evening I had my first email about a point of substantive policy of the main game.

I'm concerned that too much is being stored up for Thursday and that the final text will be rather thin (and brief).

Also, there's not been as much difference between groups as one might have imagined, so the scope for getting into topics has been limited: groups see they are pushing the same rough direction, so they don't bother to explore any smaller differences.

Maybe I'm just a pessimist and this is my usual disappointment at people not doing the things I expect, but we'll see.
