if i wrote an article on web-based editors, and my footnotes didn't work (because they were tagged with "name" instead of "id"), i'd be embarrassed. but maybe that's just me.

We had some less-than-intelligent JavaScript intercepting those links, and I neglected to check that it was working — all fixed now. Appreciate the constructive comment.

i appreciate that you realized the comment was constructive, even if it was phrased (intentionally) in an ambiguous way, because it was still a bug-report, nevertheless. in an age when people far too often leap to the wrong interpretation, a small dose of generosity will frequently go a very long way.

thanks. i _was_ taking my own advice when i wrote my comment. (in a nutshell, act positively, interpret generously, and phrase ambiguously, to see how your colleagues react to it.)

i appreciate your constructive comment.
