[UK-TUG] Discussion of motion DS1

[David Saunders]

I'd prefer not to be involved in the type of discussion with TUG that 
you are suggesting. I think it is unnecessary. If a donor chooses to 
donate to the TeX Development Fund (and it's up to the donor) then 
that's where TUG will apply the money.
