There's a joke in here somewhere, maybe about applying en.wp talkpage style argumentation to "real life", but maybe we can just call this a dead issue and move on rather than argue in circles forever with Will.
I would say that you are trying to paint me as some kind of antagonist who has no purpose in my argument direction. No Ad Hominem attacks please.
There is a quite definite purpose in my point. That the WMF has no specific policy on what to retain, nor how long to retain it. That is a rather important issue for many people. I hope that people will be considerate of the nature of this privacy issue and not try to sweep it under the rug. It should be addressed clearly and directly.
