**Thank you, Jeanne. This, indeed, like I tried to explain earlier today, 
was my motivation to analyze the text and give suggestions from my point of 
view to improve the text towards more bf-friendly content. I could have 
posted privately, but after writing my mail decided to post to Lactnet, in 
order to share *just one* lc-opinion and also to explain that I'm not 
against advertising on principal grounds.
I felt some kind of reprimande, too, and hope my well-meant intentions 
concerning the editing are not questioned... (And let's indeed move on, as 
there is so much to discuss... ;-))

Kndly,

Marianne Vanderveen, Netherlands
