Just another tibbit: > Perhaps you considered: > > a) paraphrasing it > > b) contacting me about it
If you *had* contacted me about this, I would probably have said, "sure, just drop the last sentence of the first paragraph (ETOCOLORFULL) and drop the second paragraph (ETOLITTLECONTEXT or ENOTRELEVANT). It kinda does reflect my beliefs. However, I've already had a couple of queries about what the second paragraph was about. The reason it was there was because I believe we were all bombarded with a lot of complaining by Roland (Grown, Erk, etc.). I was only trying to thrown him a bone to acknowledge that there are a lot of issues which make things difficult for external community members. It really isn't relative to the discussion at hand. This should have been very clear, assuming you were presented with the full e-mail message. Also, John,... you knew that a smaller group was looking at "draft opinions" (Garrett, Glenn, Roland, John and myself). I looked at all of these iterations. Not one of them had anything close to this quotation. Can we say "blindsided"? Finally, don't you remember the advice from Gingell: `Never say "putback" just before you go on vacation`? Same applies to most e-mails. :-) - jek3
