My own take on this, is when I want something, I propose it.  If I get a 
bunch of suggestions, I respond by going off and coding it,  If I get a 
bunch of complaints, I let it die.  But what most often happens, someone 
who is less upset by the political arguing than I am goes off and codes 
it, and litens to the flack until it gets accepted.  I don't do very 
well, listening to flack.
