I both agree and disagree. When I wrote my followup, I first decided not to
include anything of the original, except where I disagreed and wanted to
clarify why. Later I changed my mind because: If the list is sent to IBM
to see what changes users want, there's no way to tell which changes *users*
see as higher priority than others. If I add which I agree with, you can
add how many wanted every thing on the list. That way, something only
one person want, is probably less important than something 10 persons want.
