This could have been expressed by you earlier on the wikien-l list,
where you do occasionally participate. I disagree with all of it, but
I could not say anything about it, because you did not express it in
any way.

I cannot access functionaries-l. That means that your communications
there, in addition to being "private," were also "unwiki" -
considering we were discussing it openly on wikien-l and mediazilla.

If you could either forward these emails to me, or else summarize
their criticisms here, that would be wonderful.
