I am TOTALLY fascinated to find the word "rant" in an Aaron Falk
e-mail, without an odd number of carets in front of it!

But on this single point:

I agree (I was hoping I wasn't much of a ranter, either), and
want to add that one nice thing about having an IESG with more
than one member is that IESG members should be more free to
express opinions, because other IESG members will counterbalance
extreme positions...
