No you shouldn't. The fact that we have to do just that is sad, but it is reality as you are well aware.

At the end of this process, it will almost assuredly be our responsibility to vote NO on the first TA. We'll have to vote NO even after hearing from the MEC that: "This is as good as it's going to get, and if you vote NO, we'll have start all over from the beginning with a new MEC, blah, blah, blah."
