I'll join. As WP grows, we need to get on this type of
thing--almost all large organizations do it, and it's
important to manage perceptions. I'll start setting up
a draft page in my userspace, and get up a letter to
the Register as well.

"Don't bite the hand that feeds you."
It would have been better to reply with mild
explanations of how our
Buckminster Fuller article wasn't really a "plug"
for Drexler than to
issue a shrill denunciation or (shudder) to loft an
f-word at them. If
those were the only two who wrote, than I suggest in
the future we get
together and coordinate our strategy for responding.
Anyone care to form or join a Public Relations
committee? First order of
business would be to send an apology to The Register
and assure them
that the "wankers" who flamed them were not speaking
officially for our
project. We might also ask for suggestions on
improving our article
about their newspaper...

In one of a series of interviews since teaming up on Tuesday, Kerry and Edwards predicted
they would win the political fight over which party best exemplifies the values and ethics
of most Americans, but Kerry said they would wage that battle on their terms and not what
he called the Republican Party's "little political, hot-button, cultural,
wedge-driven, poll-driven values."
