Hi Joseph,

I do embrace the concept of consensus building.  However, the attitude of
certain committee members wasn't up to what I can stand.  Since those committee
members complained about wasting their time choosing a name, I'm going to take
that as direction, and not give them a choice on the name, as they requested. 
There seemed to be consensus on not wasting committee time on choosing names,
isn't it?  So we could say I'm respecting that consensus.

Of course, if someone comes to me respectfully with reasons for changing a
name, I will be open to discussion, but the ultimate decision on the name will
be mine.  I've had enough with _Countof.

Cheers,
Alex
