   He _has_ learned and duly apologized.   
      
   My statement is based on the apparent ambiguity of the charter and/or the   
   inabilty of some people to understand.  We have had *way* to much   
   misinterpretation lately.   
      
   My belief is that avoidable misinterpretation will continue until we make   
   the change, or at least provide a clarification in publically accesible   
   forums such as orafaq.com  (Deliberate misinterpretation, people who wish   
   to demonstrate their ignorance and nutcases who grovel in raw egg will   
   always be a problem as long as the internet provides anonymity.)   
      
   Time to kill this thread, or at least move it to cdo.misc?
