I would just like to publicly apoligise for this comment. Having
followed this debate it would seem that i reached an overhasty
conclusion. I thank Jimbo, the board and mav for reacting to the
barrage of critisism from me and others in such a calm and intelligent
manner. Provided that this is just placed on the tools page (along
with the other tools) and that it has an appropriate explanation, then
I believe that it is really not advertising, and generally a good
thing.

paz y amor,
