Sometimes I wonder what happened, David. I recall you describing one of my posts to Foundation-l as the "post of the year" a couple of years ago:

http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/wiki/foundation/216365#216365

What I am opposed to is poor content, BLP violations, or Wikipedia being abused for commercial and political interests. 

That applied then, and it applies now. I don't think the average Wikipedian would have that much of a problem with that.

It is important to remember that Andreas is opposed to Wikipedia in
general and to chapters doing anything.
