The only e-mail to you that I find in my Sent Mail even remotely along these lines is:
  <http://www.w3.org/mid/021DF08B-395A-4CCA-9F3F-DA7E8437955B@mnot.net>

Were you referring to that, or something else?

OK. I'm not sure what's causing the vitriol here, but I apologise if I've contributed to it. I don't believe I ever said you'd be banned for contributing; I'm only try to maintain a professional environment that focuses on data and outcomes, not ad hominems (which dismissing someone's viewpoint because it's "corporate" is).
