@shelleypowers I hear ya. Have you considered running?—@ndw
@ndw Well, no. Though I have achieved respect and accomplished much with the HTML WG,

Does anyone else think this is just a Really Bad Idea, or is it my zombiephobia http://bit.ly/8dkjP9—@JeniT
@JeniThttp://bit.ly/8dkjP9 is really bad idea. Let's hope they will not release wasps before 2012 and no one
will care then ;-)—@jirkakosek

@ronhitchens Ah, so you're saying it *has* been invented, y'all are just keeping it a secret from
me. Bastards.—@ndw
