Then we have a mess.  But then, if we didn't have a mess, we 
wouldn't have an emergency.

It raises a point, though.  Should there be a mechanism built 
into r0 that freezes or flushes the queue of actions?  Or 
should some thought just be given to it in every refresh prop?

BTW, I'm not gonna oppose Wonko's refresh prop, since e's 
leaving me my societies now.  Even if that change didn't go 
through, I somehow suspect enough people are occupied now by 
Christmas week that I couldn't muster opposition.  Which would 
leave me ticked, but hey.

So...who wants to join a Tontine?
