Dave,

While I agree mostly on the line of your response I think that it was not a "question" but formulated as an "advise" and coming from someone that we all know have not planned any wg agendas. Of course this does not disqualify him, but if he is at odds with experienced people we should take such advice with more than a spoonful of salt (is that an English proverb).
