As you might be aware of, I was the one who originally asked for the deletion of this image. After extensive discussion on this thread http://mail.wikipedia.org/pipermail/foundation-l/2004-August/000822.html I changed my mind about the need for deletion. I agree with your assessment of the situation. I too look forward to Jimmy's comments on the issue, however due to the Hurricane currently flooding his house with up to 5 feet of water, I somehow doubt he will be replying any time soon :(.
