Good posting HS.
It'd be enlightening to hear from a CXCC representative on the same questions, though probly irrelevent and unhelpful. More interesting would be a proposal from CXCC to confirm establishment of comon ground and common policy on the great seniority list and mainline access debate.
More to be achieved working together than apart, Tim et al must be cheering at the lack of unity shown so far in all this. I think CXCC must accept they do not have the firepower on their own.
Mind you, I think CX is rubberducked anyway.
