Unlike most posters on EK threads here, I'm really not unduly unhappy at EK. However, I sometimes find myself wishing that some genie could wave a magic wand, and give the people who followed the advice of TCK and others a way out of the corner their current policies have painted them without their losing face.
It ain't gonna happen, unfortunately, unless perhaps in the aftermath of an "MK moment" - and no one but no one wants to pay that price to fix the current situation – or perhaps I should say ‘impasse’, because an impasse is what it’s fast becoming.
