Not my idea, didn't even respond when people called for comments on it.

Certainly I understand the tendency (I've done it myself, though I'm not proud of it) to ignore/delay issues when they're brought up by people I'm not a big fan of. Unfortunately, in general these are not the only people affected by the issues and ignoring/delaying them hurts others. I also don't see those people/actions as a justification for ignoring/delaying things which are clearly larger than the few people and their actions. Stephen
