When I have built a "great new idea", I destroy it. I turn around, grab my Mjøllnir and have at it. I have no use for an idea even I can destroy, be it my own. Then I turn around and try to save it. If I manage to save it, I turn around and ...

Have you ever seen a text so sleek as EEP 55? I may have seen more self-criticism in that orange person. And this thread started with talk of implementation.

I have read through this tree of threads several times and think that Richard Carlsson might be the calmest and most patient reader and writer around. As the "owner" of EEP 55 he may be set up in one corner, but he does not have to stay there, he could, at least every once in a while, step out and ... turn around.

Just like others do not have to stay on a path they might have been set on; even if maybe pushed a little along, they do not have to walk it.
