Well, I meant "typed out" on this issue :). I can't find the email thread I was thinking about (+1 to having a google search on our email list :). At any rate, it was several years ago, so maybe it would be good to email him about it, since I don't remember exactly what he said, other than it seemed that he was not in favor. But my memory is fuzzy enough that we should ask him again. I'll try to do this in the next few days.
