Thanks Jim for injecting some humor. :-)<div><br></div><div>OK, I am sorry. I overreacted.</div><div><br></div><div>I spend a lot of time explaining how different things work, and making examples etc on this list and I sometimes wonder if this is really in my best interest?</div>
<div><br></div><div>Would I be better off spending time on groups that are clearer about what they like and don&#39;t like?</div><div><br></div><div>If I take the time to change something to address some issue, will it even matter in the end?</div>
<div><br></div><div>Does it make sense to take the time to build some consensus?</div><div><br></div><div>It seem that it would be best to do this within the TDWG umbrella but at what cost compared to finishing my degree etc.</div>
