Re: [gnso-vi-feb10] New Revised SRSU Text - critics corner

[Avri Doria <avri@xxxxxxx>]

hi,

As a proponent of specific SR exceptions ( both SRSU and SRMU variants), I 
accept the addition of this stmt or one like it.

I do ask whether Kathy speaks for all critics of the concept or just some of 
the critics.  Would be impressed to find out that all the critics of SR have 
consensus on what they dislike about SR.

a.

Ps, I am consistent about allowing information into the report.  I think the 
ANNEX and Addenda should be as wide as the opinions in the group.
