This isn't going anywhere and I don't think I'm even a party to these discussions or this dispute. Kpedsea has more than adequately proven his or her case and this RfM has sat idle for several weeks. I'm withdrawing from this RfM. Best of luck to everyone who sticks around if this ever actually gets started back up! --ElKevbo 16:09, 22 February 2007 (UTC)
