What positive step?

Anyone who posts but a URL to a public discussion generally has no good
point and no good cause. If you can say in one sentence what you are
promoting or recommending, you had better not promote or recommend it.

A quick look at the page suggests that any critical comments have been
ignored and the issue has been hidden under verbosity. I wonder why someone
posts to a discussion list and then ignores any real discussion.
