2. It's fun to confess at OA , isn't it, Zig?  Thanks for the support, Bingo.  You're dragging me in deeper!  And Frink, this really requires no more effort than you already give out.  Just harass me like you do every day to everyone.  I'm just giving an excuse.  In all seriousness, little enforcement should be needed.  There is a psychological principle, though the name of it escapes me, where an individual puts out his intentions or opinions, and once out in the public's awareness, he is more likely to stick to that principle.  Think of politicians.  We call them flip-floppers if they change their mind on anything, but how often do we little people change our minds?  It's because we don't have the social pressure to stick to our guns.  But now that I've made you all aware of my plan, I'm more likely to follow through.  Also bear in mind that this is simply good fun to help keep me on task.
