I'm not proposing that Dean come back. He's incorrigable. We need to
provide a method to allow for what we've done and to allow the SC to
do what they do. House cleaning. In the procedures doc that I am about
to post after I get initial thoughts on a few nagging questions, I
address just that and define a procedure that has a permanent ban
being "recommended" by the MLC but enacted upon by the SC. Blah blah
blah. Etc.
