Thank you TV. Yesterday a couple of people took exception (off list) to me sending out emails that simply used a +1 or a -1 in response to mail to the list. I explained to them (off list) that I felt that it was appropriate sometimes to simply indicate support or non-support for a position. It helps the writer know that he is on- or off-track. I take TV Raman's signal of support as a strong signal because of his position on the TAG and his expertise in accessibility. With all due respect to Dan Connolly who suggested (on list) that the +1 notation may not be helpful. In this case it is. Thanks again.
