Ted,

   If you can tell us which of Ashok's comments (again, be precise!) you
disagree with then the editors will probably not change them,
especially if Ashok can "live with" the wording you prefer. However, if
you cannot tell us precisely which comments not to change (perhaps just
change the wiki page lee put up quickly and note it there) (and you are
going on vacation for 2 weeks), the choice will be left in the editor's
hands.

          cheers,
               harry
