The discussion moved to how we will move forward from here. Some people seem 
unwilling to change. That was what prompted my email.

Please excuse my imprecise language.

I do want to follow the discussion, I'm just saying the discussion was getting 
overly verbose.

I see summarisation in the early stage of planning a lot actually. When we 
hold an early planning meeting at work a few people (not everyone who will be 
involved) go off and thrash through the discussion in a private meeting room. 
We then come back and talk to everyone else about it or send a summary to our 
internal mailing list for people to discuss. Before going to the early 
meetings we try and summarise our thoughts before hand rather than doing it 
all in the meeting.

I do track the discussion, I've read 99% of the mails to this list in the last 
few months so please don't mistake my lack of contribution as being a lack of 
understanding.

I think I've made my point. I don't want a meta-meta-discussion about the 
merits or not of my argument. Take it on board or don't, that's your call. 
I've made a polite request and a not-so-polite request and I'll leave it at 
that.
