I was responding privately to a private mail where you were telling me that
the way I write email is SPAM. If you do not like github and also do not like
the way people on this mailing lis respond to you, I think you are going to
have a difficult time having a discussion with this working group.

You can argue for changes to CSS, this is what this group is for. As long
as you do it politely and with good arguments, and try to understand the
arguments of other participants, there is no problem. We may agree,
we may disagree, but we can discuss.
