It's (apparently) a pretty trivial change and one that people are 
already recommending.  Doesn't seem that significant an issue (to me).

While I could write the email, I'm not sure they'd listen to me. It's 
not like they know who I am.  Also, I've been told that my posts are 
sometimes perceived as confrontational.  And that's not a good thing for 
this kind of effort.
