Ah, yes, you are correct.  I will fix up the draft to make note of it.

I understand your concerns here.  The first half of the sentence,
however, I think is appropriate because there are circumstances when
it is desirable.  The second half of the sentence, and the following
one give justifications why it is not desirable.

Both sentences have been debated far more than I would have imagined
before I became an I-D editor.  The debates, so far, have centered on
things like the definition of "spam" and grammar.  Right now, I think
if I removed them, it would generate more problems for me than leaving
them in.
