thought your input to the mediation process would be valuable. It wasn't my impression that being listed on the RfM meant that someone thought you needed mediation, but just that you were involved in the discussions, even though your position and way of acting were perfectly allright. If you would prefer to be removed from the list of people, no problem. Again, I have no problem with you at all.

Scott, I think I got the 3.7% figure either from the Starbucks website or one of their employee newsletters (I have a relative who works for Starbucks so I read some of their employee announcements). Those numbers change each year and I have read that Fair Trade coffee sales double every two years

The section of this article that pains me every time I look at it is Starbucks in pop-culture. It consistently seems to be the biggest target for hit and run references for anything remotely related to Starbucks or a Starbucks-like coffee shop. I have an idea for trimming this section substantially

I just took a quick look over those changes, and I think they look good. Moving the quotes section to criticism makes a lot of sense for the content that's there at the moment. There are a couple of things I might change regarding the coffee market, but those are issues I've been planning to get to

Scott I went to town on the Starbucks article today. For the most part I think it is one of the better articles here but a few loose ends remain. You're one of the more active editors there (and you do a nice job too, btw) feel free to make any changes to my changes. :-)

Glad to help. It looks like an interesting topic. I wouldn't be surprised to find out that there are more alternate spellings that would turn up even more information. Sadly, the Web is generally lacking in information on these subjects.
