Not Too Late to "strengthen" the topic

[Kenneth Broda-Bahm <broda@midget.towson.edu>]

I will add my voice to the increasing chorus decrying the 
bidirectionality of using a word like strengthen (e.g., make better) on a 
topic that was previously excellent.

This vote seems to have taken place without a great deal of discussion.  
I have seen no rejoinder to the comments of folks like Deatheridge.  As 
Ross Smith recently indicated, this word choice seems to be busting 
coalitions and adding a fresh layer of uncertainty to the final outcome.

I RESPECTFULLY IMPLORE THE COMMITTEE TO RECONSIDER THE VOTE WHICH 
REPLACED 'INCREASE' WITH 'STRENGTHEN.'   THERE IS NOTHING PROCEDURAL WHICH 
PREVENTS SUCH A CHANGE AS LONG AS IT OCCURS IN THE NEXT THREE DAYS.
