Re: [eia] JJ's proposal

["J.J. Young" <jjy@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I have no problem with the proposed house rule being applied to me this
turn, but only if we are adopting it permanently.  I don't want to abide by
a rule that is promply thrown out afterward.  So let's decide; is the
proposed house rule better than the rule as written ?  I will abstain.
