I appreciate Tantek's indulgence for my off-topic post, and his  
prompt response.  However, despite the overwhelmingly positive vote,  
Andy's moderation does not appear to have been removed, nor has any  
explanation been given.

Again, I fully believe in the good intentions of the leadership, and  
respect the busyness of their schedules. However, independent of  
their position on Andy, I feel they owe *the community* a little more  
respect for our expressed opinion.

Then again, maybe that's just me.  Let me know (one way or the other)  
at:

In deference to Tantek's wishes, please follow up there (on the wiki)  
rather than here (on email).

Sorry for the interruption. We now return you to your regularly  
scheduled hCard.

Penitently yours,
-- Ernie P.
