Anthony, please stop trolling. I am at the forefront of advocating
board expansion, so you have a hell of a nerve accusing me of "control
issues".

You're the one who set up the board such that you and your Bomis
partners permanently control 3/5 of the votes. If you're at the
forefront of advocating board expansion, you certainly haven't been
doing so very loudly. And I wonder who it is that's against it.
Looking at the recent changes to the foundation wiki, I see
http://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/Resolution_President, affirming
you as President and authorizing you to make certain decisions,
"failed to gain Board support". I wonder: Who proposed that
resolution? Who voted for it? Who voted against it?
Since this is such a "transparent organization", I suppose I won't
wonder these things too long.
