How many times do we have to fight this same pointless battle? 
Tom's Proposal was to combine the two style guides into a single
one, and thus remove the confusion of having two parallel
projects.  Isn't this what you've been demanding all along?  Now
you're telling me that isn't a valid proposal?  Just because
you've changed your own mind that you don't want to integrate the
two _doesn't_ mean that that proposal is no longer valid.

And what is THIS current thread, if not a loud attempt to divert
attention?

Please, stop the game playing and get back to work on guide
issues.
