Mr/Ms Shill, there is a grey area between being a provocative gadfly and mere trolldom. That was on the far side of grey into trolling. I am all for encouraging gadflys on this list; I am also all for removing trolls. You generally behave yourself better than that. If you stop behaving yourself, you will probably find yourself moderated or dropped from the list, and I will shed no tears.

I don't consider using Google or Gmail a conflict of interest; there are no shortage of other search engines and free email accounts. The stock holding group is a concern. An independent mutual fund is uncontrollable for the most part and not a concern. A group your actively participating in and have influence in is. I'm happy to let the consensus of the group decide whether you're a reliable intermediary with Privacy International. I also hope that the links I provided prove useful to any research on them and their studies. ~~Pro-Lick http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/User:Halliburton_Shill http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Pro-Lick http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Pro-Lick http://www.wikiality.com/User:Pro-Lick (Wikia supported site since 2006) --spam may follow-- ____________________________________________________________________________________ Get the Yahoo! toolbar and be alerted to new email wherever you're surfing. http://new.toolbar.yahoo.com/toolbar/features/mail/index.php

Actually, I do/did not request permission to ask anyone for further details about a paper they released nor do I consider this to be something that needs permission. On the contrary, I wish that more people (including those who are right now filling my keyword notification list with their journalistic output would have asked PI for more details before writing about that preliminary report).
