Hi Charles,
My personal perspective: (not speaking for the board or officers)
Yes, New participants and Rehashed topics can be frustrating and might even seem pointless. I’m one of those persons who have not been in the metal committee these last two years, so I appreciate your patience. (Side note, I have to commend you on your excellent committee minutes and recent usage of Source and Tasks… it really helped me catch up on the current topics… Thank you!)
Please trust that I know that there’s been a lot of effort and conversation back and forth at the committee level. I’m not trying to rehash or second guess any of the issues, just trying to fill in the gaps/decisions/conclusions that I missed to facilitate the agenda. The answers from Team Metal have been really useful.
Cheers!
Jack
