Except that this ignores (or forgets) that all decisions aren't necessarily based on the best technical reasoning. It may have been politics, stonewalling, or finally caving in to some sort of consensus with a minority opinion. Rare are issues that are unanimous. Would those who want reasons behind decisions accept "the best solution the group could come to consensus on"? I can only see follow-up as to what the other proposals were and why or why not something was/wasn't accepted, and that's where you get into "Well, Foo, Inc's rep refused this", etc. Ann -- Ann Navarro Author and Chief Geek, WebGeek, Inc. http://www.webgeek.com In print soon!
