Hi Drew

From what I see, the forums topic seems to be a recurring topic on all 
lists. Some of the membership have discounted it, other members have 
not. We may say that the SC members have discounted it, however the 
topic of hosted forums has still come back with a vengeance and good 
arguments have been made on all sides. If we can at least acknowledge 
this, then we should then keep an open mind about it. Saying that it is 
not under consideration or just ignoring that last line, will again. 
leave doubt in our community.

" ... still under consideration." in my mind will satisfy both groups 
and will give us room to breathe and come back to this subject later 
when we can all think rationally, our membership will be more mature 
and the OOo situation will perhaps have settled. We need to take a 
little breath at this early stage of the project and offer at least the 
prospect that we will take this up later under more rational circumstances.

Cheers

Marc
