I'm not sure what your arguing about in your top post to an out of 
context quote.  It's not important enough for me to trace that back.  I 
need to assume that the "you" in my comment referred to you, and IIRC 
you wanted to limit the article to one paragraph.  I was merely making a 
suggestion for one sentence that that paragraph could include.

So am I safe to say that you made your above comment so that you could 
get a virtual pat on the back for your efforts?  If so I hereby offer 
that to you.

A few years ago there was a big debate over whether names should include 
accents, and I believe that was settled back then.  This doesn't meant 
that we don't have a few retro-luddites who would still believe that the 
results should have been different.
