[tech] [spec] On extending gemini

[mieum]

Hey folks,

I hope chiming in tangentially like this isn't a faux pas.

I just wanted to say that I am grateful for all of you skilled and wise
(and opinionated) people here on this list and Gemini at large. I
consider myself among the most plebian of laymen, and have learned A LOT
keeping an ear to the pavement about all things Gemini here. I am
grateful that there are so many passionate and knowledgeable people
caring about Gemini. 

In regard to the issue of this thread, I see many people whom I admire
and respect expressing valid concerns about an important issue. I hope
that all concerned parties here can hear each other, and that with this
issue and others, we can proceed with an underatanding that agreement
is not a condition of community. There are many passionate people
residing in Geminispace, and I hope that we can appreciate that even
those with whom we disagree are in fact not only our neighbors, but 
also our closest allies.

This is my ignorant and biased two cents. I do not mean to mininize
anyone's opinion here, of course. Just wanted to remind all of you that
there are a lot of people out here who appreciate that all of you care
so much. Now I'm off to dick around (isn't English fun?) on one of my 
many obscure capsules :)

Good night Gemini,
