Its too bad that political correctness is more important than information to some people. I appreciate what you are doing and thank you.

While I understand that could of been rephrased better, I would also
like to point out that we work very hard on a weekly basis to get this
newsletter out the best as possible, with many little people.
I would appreciate much more then 2 emails with full paragraphs to two
public emailing lists, having you look through  the actual UWN, which
has a very open process of writing it (directly on the wiki) and a
very predictable release schedule (every sunday). We work especially
hard to make sure it gets released on a weekly basis.
I welcome (and encourage) every contribution and correction, and
appreciate very much the emails and comments after each release, so if
you believe that we're not paying enough attention, feel
free/encouraged to participate more.


:D
