Excellent, that is/was indeed a positive step :)

For the cores party, much as I enjoyed the First Nation cuisine in Vancouver
or the performance art in Tokyo, IMO it's probably time to draw a line under
that excess also, as it too projects a notion of exclusivity that runs counter
to building a community.
