>Failure to sign is surely in some measure a failure to show support for the effort to create an open letter.

Mike,

I don't believe this statement is true. Only the people that have signed their name under "No" have stated that they do not support the letter. As to the question of if members of the community will consider signing the letter, the answer is a resounding YES! Whether the answer came through the UT or through a signature on the wiki is unimportant. We have our answer. I hope you realize that there is overwhelming support for the creation of a letter. I also think that the content of the letter will be such that most will want to sign. I agree with some of the others that we have the answer to the first question. When the letter is ready, it should then be significantly advertised for consideration.

I do appreciate the hard work you are doing to get this message out. You have my support.
