I wish this was not still wrapped in advocacy rags, the point is not to
find harms that only occur when there is cross-ownership greater than X
but harms, present and perhaps overlooked, and latent when there is any
cross-ownership, as well as conditions which, when present, appear to
mitigate harms.

This "I hope everyone who still opposed anything beyond 15% will contribute
their fears in form of more or less concrete harms as well, so we can start 
discussing solutions instead of problems" errs in overlooking harms that
may exist where cross-ownership is 15% or less. 

This "I specifically did not mention market power ..." and this "I did
specifically leave out is the strategy of auctions ..." errs in assuming
that the first is not a relevant condition not univerally present, and
errs in assuming that something attributable to a RACK proponent (and we
don't even know who wrote the ad copy) is (a) relevent to this WG's mission,
(b) binding on any RACK proponent, or (c) a controlling authority.
