That wouldn't be improper, it would just be plain dumb. What would be  
improper, however, would be to suggest that I made such a dumb demand.

Dunno, maybe you have a reading comprehension disability? Or maybe  
you could explain how you get that impression when my comments  
explicitly state the opposite:

"... my argument isn't that "you must include wifi" in the Neo v1 no  
matter what the cost. My argument is that the GSM+WiFi/VoIP  
combination is a revolution waiting to happen and that OpenMoko  
clearly won't be player in this until it gets WiFi."
