Ahh! found it.. might have been helpful if you actually told me where it
is. I will get it fixed.

The quote that you provide will indeed be fixed and was an oversight.
Thank you for bringing it to our attention. I would ask in the future
that you actually keep the thread on topic however. I invite you to
start another -advocacy thread if you wish on gripes you have about how
CMD represents the community.

Sincerely,
