A few preliminary comments on the summary of the Fortran 8x public comment:
1. How did you get this info so fast?  I'm a member of X3J3, and I've only
   received about 3/4 of them.
2. How many of those negative letters were form letters?  In the letters
   received before the last X3J3 meeting (about 90), more than half of the
   negative comments (about 35) were form letters.
3. Some of the letters characterized as negative are from people I know to be
   generally in favor of 8x (although they have specific concerns about the
   current draft).
4. What did CBEMA do with my 42 page comment?  I wonder how many others are
   unaccounted for?
