Ah, that old saw about how the internet isn't the real world, eh? ;  )

Actually, while I agree in principle, I think we haven't really reached
a solution to this that is to everybody's satisfaction. For instance, my
own interpretation is what seems to make sense to me, but I'm not
entirely satisfied with it, and others may absolutely hate it. Perhaps
we should wait just a bit longer, in case someone has anything to add
that might prove important?

I think a blow-by blow account of the various debates might not make
interesting reading to all...
