I was tempted to just remove the whole thing but there may be some utility to such a performance testimonial if it can be done in more professional way. If this style must be used, then it should at least start off with "One of the authors" instead of "I" and it should probably be separated from the main flow of the text in a box or footnote or something. Alternatively, the personal testimonial style can just be dropped in favor or more formal exposition. >How-To-Repeat: >Fix: Sorry no patch yet. >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
