I see we've decided once again to take up the discussion of the elephant in the living room, as well as the elephants in the parlour, in the consuite, in the room party, in the function space, and, I suppose, wandering the halls searching for a place to settle in. It is my sincere hope that we can proceed calmly and quietly so as not to spook any of the elephants with this sudden focus of attention—I'd hate to see anyone trampled.

It is also my hope that I will be able to find the clarity of mind and word to add usefully to the discussion in the days to come. I guess time will tell.
