Russ, please have the decency to maintain accuracy. He _never_
suggested that the proponents should ask the moderator to do
anything. Please don't suggest otherwise.

Nobody ignored it - Tale conducted his dealings with the moderator in
secret, and the rest of the "compromise plan" was dictated to the
proponents.
So, when Tale mentioned his tagging system, how were we to know that
a) Tale never bothered to tell the moderator about this
b) we would later be accused of ignoring it because we didn't
read Tale's mind and figure out that he hadn't told the moderator
himself, despite the fact that he brokered every other part of the
deal in secret with the moderator
