I was aiming for a poor solution. It's a case of the worst being the best.

Seriously this is the worst possible time to begin monitoring the p-list.
We are going into a part of the book that exalts emotion and the
senses, passions and inner struggles, where  creative spirit is more
important than strict adherence to rules and traditional procedures--all 
in the service  of spiritual truth.

Let us be moths and seek the flame. We do want change, don't we???
