Consider this a plaintitive -1 to any sort of rule-or-decision based on committee. I'd much rather a 2x4 to the forehead. Oops, sorry but what does "a 2x4 to the forehead" mean? (and "plaintitive" by the way?) The former means being hit by a board and by the latter, he probably means "plaintive" meaning melancholy. Does it only work for english speaking non-metric system users? (2x4 is probably something imperial) Yes, that's a 5,04 by 10,08 for you. :)

Of course "2 by 4" is just the name. The actual measurements of such a piece of lumber in the store are about 1.75 by 3.75 inch. :-)
