Hi Chris,
I wasn't trying to kill the commentary, just suggesting a change.
My concern is that by making someone "opt out" you might completely isolate
them (even from the normal level of PUG commentary), whereas someone
"opting in" is signalling to the group that they would like even more
attention than usual (and are open to possibly negative criticism).
Also, I'm not clear how someone adding a request for criticism to their PUG
submission letter dumps more work on Bill's head-cut an paste of a block of
text is still just cut and past, right?
