I am not sure what purpose is served by making unfalsifiable claims of support. Those who support any of your drafts as-is and feel that they are pefect, or who object to any of the alterations proposed by anyone else, should speak up publicly on this list. Your unverifiable claims of support, whether for this document or for you personally, are not reliable data for any function. > I also don't think they're worth arguing about, so I'm just going to > do what I feel like.

I'm interesting in fixing the document so that it can be a Joint Resolution of the Debian Developers instead of a Joint Resolution of Ian Jackson. Your reluctance to substitute standard English grammar and syntax for your stylistic idiosyncrasies in the document suggest to me an low likelihood that you'll be receptive to more substantive changes, an impression that, to date, has been countered by precious little data. -- G.
