Practically everyone who's tuned in has told you it's not acceptable
in this current state. Calling the TC now won't do anything but waste
everyone's time. I even told you in the gentlest possible way that
what we're looking for is something else. Please, do the changes
that we've been asking you to do for months, which you avoided doing,
because of your rhetoric refusal to admit that your initial approach
was not quite what we were looking for, and not quite what everyone
else's approach to do this was.
