I greatly dislike cross-posting, but since the last two posters did cross-post, I feel that this statement needs to go to the same audience. Sorry. It was just that the original doc went to the ALAC list as well as _all_ the RALO lists. The only ones I'm able to post to are ALAC and NA.
As anyone who read my comments knows, I'd onto support the document as drafted. ???
However, in fairness to those that did draft it, I do not believe that it says ANYTHING about taking action against ALSs (for whatever reason).
It was Danny Younger who suggested this, saying that in his opinion, it was something that/ should/ have been included.
My rant was multi-faceted, though, and clearly directed against the original document as well as the subsequent discussions. I deliberately kept individuals out of my comment because it was directed at the groupthink indicated by the document and discussion more than any specific contribution. Perhaps some elements of my commentary -- such as that ALAC has no business at this time reworking (and bloating) conflict of interest guidelines -- were more subtly stated than others. :-) - Evan
