+
+Please, limit your post on this list, this thread has cause enought
+noise already.
+
+If you have a good reason to eliminate a word, or want more explanation,
+mail me directly or sent me a message on IRC (Nanar, Freenode), I'll
+post a sumarry here if need.
+
+I did learn a lot of words !
+
+I made some choice for you (sorry):
+- read your mail, then take decision according comment
+- check quickly on google for major conflicts (such as widelly know
+  trademark, well know software, ...).
+
+My favorites are word related to room or recipient (to push a change
+in...). I did also notice a lot mail in favor of 'cauldron'.
