We are all equals here - being a "very, very famous name in the computer industry" doesn't suddenly make some right or more correct than anyone else. I could agree with what you said. I just made that point to show this opinion is shared outside of W3C or WHATWG far beyond unsignificant levels. I will disclose the name if I am authorized to do it. That said, there is no reason why you have to reply roughly or even with mockery. I urge you to reconsider your communication in W3C channels and in particular in a channel related to the TAG you wanted to reform, so you said on your blog. You're elected, meaning you're supposed to carefully listen to the organizations that elected you. You may disagree with them, but respectfully and still listening. </Daniel>
