No, Ev, that's not it.  Take the proposed 30/50 rules - some people like it
(like K4GUN), some people don't (like me) and we're seeing comments both
ways.  I haven't seen any comments in support of activating a grid once
besides yours.  I know you like your idea - we all like our own ideas - and
I know you think you can make it work based on how you've operated in the
past, but other do things differently and it cramps their style.  I think
it's time to let this one go.
