It might have been good to know in advance that this is what it meant to vote to make the top two sections FIDE rated. It might have also been good to know the new time control before deciding how many teams to play or if a person wanted to play at such a fast time control. Andy said to me that it waould be too much trouble to have a different rate for different sections - it would not affect the clocks if you do not set a number of moves on the clock but just program 90 mins then 30 mins.
Good sense is of all things in the world the most equally distributed, for everybody thinks himself so abundantly provided with it, that even those most difficult to please do not commonly desire more of it than they already possess. Descartes
