I question how productive it is to all of us though, to ask questions if the starting point of those questions is incorrect. My sense here was that a few words on a wiki page struck you the wrong way so instead of going to the people that wrote them by asking, "Hey, what do you guys mean? These _______ things concern me for these reasons." It was first asked instead to a mailing list that didn't write them :). I specifically requested feedback on advisory-board for this very purpose and received no responses. Is there something I could have done better on advisory-board list to engage the people that have participated so freely here? > > As far as replying to the advisory-board mailing list first, I will be > sure to do so in the future.

I thought we might be able to have a more productive discussion if we had an accurate starting point.
