Thank you for interrupting us. While this is the appropriate forum for RFC/RFV of style guidelines, I do apologize for the state of discourse. I have tried very hard to stay on topic and not do point-by-point replies for every detail I disagree with, but have not always succeeded. I believe that the references and "studies" I have documented will stand up to scrutiny by third parties and that the conclusion is clear. The RFV has gotten its V, so I will not reply further unless explicitly asked to do so by one of our style leaders. -- Philip Jägenstedt _______________________________________________ MusicBrainz-style mailing list MusicBrainz-style@lists.musicbrainz.org http://lists.musicbrainz.org/mailman/listinfo/musicbrainz-style
