I repeat: nothing in Fred's posts of the last week involving making policy.
He was merely clarifying what already _is_ policy.
You seem more exercised over the fact that someone is telling you what to do, than over the question of whether the thing you're being told to do is good or not. I can understand this sort of irritation. There's one person I know who is a backseat driver; they can't navigate without making nagging suggestions like, "Get in the right line now" and "Speed up so you can make this light". It bugs me so much that sometimes I feel an overwhelming impulse to balk -- just so I don't feel so darn controlled.
Sorry if this is happening now on the list, for you, Rick. I don't mean to put that kind of pressure on you, and I doubt that Fred wants to, either.
