Its certainly not a bad thing for you to mention Nathan's involvement as he was very valuable to that project. Also speaking about your role isn't a bad thing either, here's the reason why there's usually some hesitation when it comes to working on (...) (17 years ago, 31-Jul-07, to lugnet.ambassadors, FTX) !

Nelson / Richie, Thanks again for posting this list, and for your diligent work as LEGO Ambassadors. (I hope that you get paid for it) I think I also need to say that I am appalled by 9V Trains not being on the original list. Are you guys (...) (17 years ago, 31-Jul-07, to lugnet.ambassadors, FTX)

The only commonly available windows from LEGO today are the 1x4x3 shape, whereas in real life (...) (17 years ago, 31-Jul-07, to lugnet.ambassadors, FTX)

I just took a look at the current list (from (URL) right?) and I think there is a good reason to place 9V ahead of all of those issues: If none of those issues are addressed by LEGO, there is no change. If the 9V trains issue is not addressed, (...) (17 years ago, 31-Jul-07, to lugnet.ambassadors, FTX)
