¶21 I join in the Court’s opinion.
¶22 I write separately to clarify that the concerns I have expressed on previous occasions (see, e.g., Finley, 276 Mont. at 148-50, 915 P.2d at 222-23 (Gray, J., specially concurring)) about the Court’s use of the common law plain error doctrine have not lessened with the passage of time. Indeed, if anything, those concerns have grown. The Court *443having adopted the doctrine, however, the common law plain error doctrine is now the law in Montana and, like all Montanans, I am bound by it.
