<div>Hi Sami and all the others,</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>It is interesting how different people can read the same paragraph and understand it very differently. What I understood when I read Andrew's email was more like this:</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>"Do not make a decision yet Mirriam. The community has not decided yet. Just because there were a few vocally against it, does not mean the community is against it."</div>
<div><br>
