I suppose I made the mistake of corresponding with you rather than joining
the DRUMS list, but I am on so many of these lists now, and I did not want
to get involved in the detailed work of DRUMS.
However, I am not myself proposing to agitate further on these issues, but
rather to point out on this list that we did have these small anomalies,
and that if anyone else wanted to make an issue of it, then now was the
time. I see that Bill Davidsen has bitten.
So if folks here want it to be taken further, then the proper channel is
for our Chairman to have a word with the Area Director, as Pete has
suggested.
And as Pete has also pointed out, either of them is easily fixed by
requiring "one or more" CFWS (or however you express it) in those places,
except in the obsolete syntax.
