upvoted, for providing specific constructive suggests for SIAI. I hope no one will meet requests such as these with derision, and I'm not entirely sure why you'd expect that.

Thanks. I've toned down the comment a bit. And I say this because some of the people involved have responded foot-draggingly and rudely to requests like this that I've made.

It's good to continue to ask for that kind of thing, but I think sounding adversarial probably makes you less likely to get good responses not more. Better to sound like the friend who relentlessly dogs you to be better at giving responses. I understand the temptation, though, because I get similar temptations.

Since I attended the minicamp, I'll respond later tonight.
