Andreas, I recall asking you about this in the past... While you have the right to your opinions, and in this forum discussion and debate are OK, I really don't think your repeated usage of the word "stupid" (or "clueless") when someone uses a document type you don't like, or makes a mistake, is constructive. Let us not forget that in the eyes of newbies, you are replying on the behalf of all the validator community at w3c. Calling them or their choices stupid is only going to alienate them, so please, don't. I am copying the mailing-list to remind everyone: this is a public mailing-list, and usual politeness and etiquette apply. Let's all play nice. Thank you. -- olivier
