Disagreed. It's a firm prerequisite, period. Anything else will be a
disorganised mess.

This is patently obvious, which is why I'm trying to get it documented
in a sane way.
Before anything gets done, those who are going to do it, whoever they
may be, need to know what exactly it is, and who exactly they need to
deal with. No such documentation exists right now outside of a
scattered mess of list messages. This farce of an exchange is now
extending the problem, not moving toward a solution. Save the e****
waving for another time/person, I'm not interested in perceived
position.
In contrast, you seem only to be interested in firing orders around
about creating scripts...

Firstly, it had quotes for a reason... secondly, speak for yourself,
there are hundreds on this list, perhaps some of them are that
fanatical. It's certainly not me.

Please stop.

If you don't like progress, and change, perhaps this isn't the thread for you.
