ahh, guys?  ah... i'm going to try *really* hard to follow the advice
that's listed here ok?
http://www.pndc.com/documents/_PDF%20Text-PNDC%20WORKS.pdf  it's a
little challenging to do so in email, as it's specifically designed
(page 6) for face-to-face conversations.

 following point (1) on page 6, i believe that the question i should
be asking is best phrased as follows:

 * what was the intent behind the change to a "code of conduct"?

 following point (4) on page 7, a second question i believe should be
phrased as follows:

 * whilst the "positive" list of behaviours look good on first glance,
we've witnessed what happened with freebsd when they adopted a "code
of conduct": would a (public) reasonable and rational discussion with
a view to removing the "proscribed" list of negative behaviours be
welcome? [1]

l.

[1] it's a little more complex than that, you get the general idea.
