Note that "editorial in nature" is largely irrelevant. Editors can change the meaning of the texts they edit. Also, in my opinion, the change served to eliminate ambiguity (and, thus alternatives) -- there's no contradction there. [Though I suppose you could argue that now that the ambiguity has been eliminated the prior revision of the social contract should be read as if that ambiguity were not relevant.] -- Raul -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
