Re: ACTION-141: Draft text on DNT Expressing a Tracking Preference

Shane, 

you have to criticize Roy for this one. You stumbled upon his language and I 
haven't made a change to this particular paragraph.

You're addressing a different issue: If two channels of communication resulted 
in conflicting statements about the user's tracking preference, which will 
prevail?.  I think we should discuss that on a different email subject. I will 
see if I find something relevant in tracker and respond to it.

Best, 

Rigo
