[DDI-SRG] lesson from DDI user list conversation

[Wendy Thomas]

One lesson we need to learn from the back and forth on the DDI user list 
is that when we put comments about a change to a schema in the CV log file 
it should be objective and informative. When we discuss things on email we 
know the context and understand the emphatics in that context. I can tell 
just from the structure of the clip whose email this was taken from. I 
know this wasn't submitted by this group but its something to remember as 
we work on 3.x, that others are reading these to learn why a chenge was 
made.

I did however, appreciate Reto's little jab back at him about the "messing 
with 3.0" comment. Personnally I don't think I'm doing any of the 
following:

b. intr. colloq. (chiefly N. Amer.). To get involved or interfere with or 
(occas.) in something or someone; to meddle, cause confusion, make 
trouble.
c. trans. colloq. To handle roughly; also fig. Also: to inconvenience or 
annoy, esp. by acting indecisively. With about, around.
  d. trans. colloq. (orig. and chiefly U.S.). With up. To assault, beat up; 
to cause injury to (a person).
5. a. trans. To make a mess of; to disorder, make dirty or untidy; to 
cause to be spoiled by inept handling; to muddle, mishandle. Now usu. with 
up. Also fig.
   b. intr. colloq. (chiefly N. Amer.). With up. To mishandle or bungle an 
enterprise; to make a mistake; to get into trouble.
6. intr.    a. To pass time in a pleasantly desultory way, with no 
definite aim or serious intent; to behave in a playful or frivolous way; 
to waste time. Usu. with about, around.
     b. colloq. To engage in a sexual relationship (with a person); to have 
an affair or affairs. With about, around.
    7. trans. colloq. Originally in African-American usage: to wrong, to 
treat unfairly. With over.
