Very succinctly put. I personally appreciate your taking the time to
weigh in on the subject. I wish more would; I wasn't a part of the WB
team either, and am in no way trying to speak for them either, but I too
think it's a pretty important issue.

You really put your finger on it: 'the spirit of the agreement is what
matters'. Just so. We need to figure out some practical measures to
prevent this from happening again.
