Well, I am not really upset (although I think I have every reason to be). What you see is more the result of problems I raise bouncing off from a wall of indifference, so that I have to storm the ivory tower with more force in the (re)retry. And when I make a helpful suggestion for improvement of something I happened notice when going through the page sources in order to assist in diagnosing the real problem, it is suddenly elevated to a issue in itself, rather than embraced, which admittedly throws the discussion off track.
I don't see any disadvatage in a public debate over something that concerns us all. (I mean, why open a thread on 'improving typography' if it is not to sollicit for feedback?). But if you rather conduct it by e-mail, that is fine with me. Is there some sort of mailing list for editors one can mail to, so that they get it all? As far as I am concerned we can start imediately; what I'd have to say in two days wouldn't be any different from what I would say now.
