Thank you, David. This is a critical point for us all to remember.
Process, like so many things, is not inherently bad. It's the abuse of
process that causes problems.
However, as we fight excessive process and the abuse of process, we need to
retain process that helpful, especially for those who otherwise would not
know where to start or where to go next.
