So let me guess - you use Bing! as your search engine then?

In all seriousness though, your statement concerning unilateral action seems a bit much. Until the announcement of the Wiki Canada move you had never emailed or contributed to this list. So why would you be crying wolf all of a sudden? If you didn't use it, why do you miss it now? I'm not trying to be facetious but from my standpoint you seem to be stirring up sh*t for the sake of stirring up sh*t.

As for google being the cause of all things wrong with the world - why don't you point us to some evidence that backs up your statements? Just saying it so doesn't make it so. And if it is what you suggest it is, use an alias. Use an anom redirector. There's several ways to get around your fears. I personally could care less about them sucking the privacy right out off me. In fact a personalized ad or two would go a long way for me. But that's just me.

This is the closest anyone has gotten to a Wikimedia Canada chapter in the last 4 years. You might not agree with some people personally but you can't discount their efforts in getting close to chapter status. So please avoid the insults.

FWIW, I appreciate the cross-posting, seeing as how the original mailing list was unilaterally hijacked to be hosted on a commercial for-profit advertising company apparently run by vampires who suck the privacy right out of you.  By the same people who are now talking amongst themselves, too.

Maybe it's an echo chamber because you keep mailing two lists (both of which you're a subscriber of) at a time? 

I was referring to the sense of [[Echo chamber (media)]]; discussion/ideas being reinforced by only a very small number of individuals talking amongst themselves, rather than receiving input from a wider group of peers. Thus my cross-posting to the list with the larger audience of interested readers is an attempt to mitigate the echo chamber.
