Okay, assuming you mean Meng, and myself in this group, I am very 
insulted.  How dare you imply that the countless hours of work we have 
put into this are for self-aggrandizement.  I don't get paid for this 
work, nor do I even work for a company that sponsors my involvement.  I 
volunteered my efforts to help a build a tool for everyone.

Sorry, I can't right now.  I'm far too upset by what you've said above. 
 I am stunned that you would proceed in such a unprofessional manner, 
and in the public forum of a standards body working group.
If your goal was to stymie any rational discussion, you've succeeded.
