Thats your perogative.  However, dont confuse persistance on issues with 
abuse of chairs when they disagree with you.  I have NOT verbally abused 
or acosted the chairs like others here.

Both of us have been in some heated discussions here as most everyone can 
tell.  If the questions asked/rasied have been answered then it should 
just be a simple matter to refer to the proper WG thread where it was 
covered and resolved.  That is, if it was actually discussed and resolved. 
 If not, asking again is still a valid option.

Whenever I missed something and it was pointed out to me, I acknowledged 
that publically (ie: searching for busytime text in 10.12.1).  However 
that does not mean questions about it cannot be raised.  Especially since 
the design and text were the product of one person and not the WG at 
large.

As Editor you should be able to answer questions about content of the 
draft, especially the intent of text.  If you are unable or unwilling then 
we should get a co-editor or replacement editor who can or is at least 
willing to try.
