How dare we be so provincial as to ignore the EBCDIC users. There's
thousands of character sets in the world--what gives us the right
to ignore the "lesser numbers" of non-ASCII users?

Excuse me, I thought that was exactly what I said. Doesn't "doesn't mean let's throw out the lesser numbers" mean the same as "what gives us the right to ignore the lesser numbers"?  I don't want to ignore anybody.
