I took Sam's comment, "I agree with the suggestion you close your email with", as referring to "Hope that helps; feel free to ignore me if not...", particularly in light of the generally negative light it casts on things. Which would not be a very nice thing to say. Maybe that's not what he meant, or maybe he said it in haste, which is why my message was on www-archive and not public-html or public-html-wg- announce. Sam is indeed allowed to have and express an opinion as long as it does not interfere with impartially managing the work of the group. Regards, Maciej
