[Seattle-editorial] Removing Comments

[sheelanagig at juno.com]

Gentry -
You go man!
I support what you are doing in this cleanup and you will not have to
battle the spam and insanity alone. I am willing to support these
decisions 100%.
It is such a HUGE project that is going on at the Seattle IMC I am
somewhat intimidated, but am slowly deciphering the system here. I get
the feature posting process now, at least...I want to be of more help,
but the big picture is SO big! Anyway, if any of you have SPECIFIC tasks
you can use me for, DO mail me re that. It is hard to know where to step
in here! Unfortunately I am performing in Eugene this weekend and will
not be back in time for the tues meeting but I can walk again, so
hopefully soon I will get down there to the mtgs!
