Although I'm personally against frivolous litigation to somewhat extreme
measure, I won't challenge your statement above.

I think this is a *good thing*, and actually a relevent topic for AM,
given the fact that AM has at least one goal of improving electronic
communications for the sake of Advertising and Marketting.
The Marino Institute's interest in fostering better use of the Internet
and the Web for that purpose seems to suggest that discussion on topics
that improve overall understanding of "The Net", it's quirks and it's
foibles, *and it's language* can only assist in better use of the medium
for AM goals.
In short, agreeing on common terminology makes communications more
efficient and more effective.
And if a broader cross-section of professionals adopt a standard, it
increases the power of that group to further their communal goals.
I guess I'll be putting a space in "Web site" from now on. :)
