<EdPoor> You guys have convinced me to relent and accede to the consensus (official).
<NicholasT> EdPoor: really? How on earth did we do that? ;-)
<EdPoor> Score: Wikipedia 1, Uncle Ed 0
<EdPoor> I'm just slow at changing, because it involves a major course adjustment, Nicholas.
<NicholasT> EdPoor: ah, I see. Well, I'm thrilled you're prepared to make that adjustment; it makes you a better man than I.
<NicholasT> :)
<EdPoor> No, it's actually a victory for the process.
<EdPoor> In the past, I just would have decided by myself: because I was dead set on being unilateral.
<NicholasT> EdPoor: well, ultimately, the question to ask is: is it a victory for yourself? That is the most important thing. Are you *happy with the change?
<EdPoor> You and the 3 others have convinced me of the need to stop trying to rock the boat, but to get on board.
<NicholasT> EdPoor: well, so long as you are happy with that idea, I am very pleased to have been able to assist you.
<RobChurch> Ed, might I propose an open letter on your user or talk page indicating that you've thought it all over and are prepared to "get on board," to use your wording?
