Fair enough, you're a stickler for evidence; I'm one for probity, and 
tend to decry attempts to advance one's cause by belittlement of others, 
so yes, I wasn't referring to purely technical aspects.

So I got a brickbat on-list and a surprise bouquet off-list, both from 
people I respect; also fair enough.

But I won't cop that I was purporting to speak for the community.  Like

and the like - I speak only for myself, no such disclaimer required.
