Hi!

It's isn't my policy, it's our policy.

Who is 'we', whom do you represent? :-)

If you don't know to what I refer, then perhaps you can read up on it.

You didn't tell what you represent and what policy you talk about, I don't know where to read about it.

As far as citing the archives of an email list, that is also not a citable source.

Thats very sad. I'm used to my mailing list posts being cited ;-)

If Foundation staff and supporters themselves, are *not prepared* to go on the record with their claims, then why should anyone trust anything they say on an email list?

I cannot speak for Foundation at the moment, so I don't know why they don't go "on the record". I don't go "on the record" because I don't see any purpose, I already wrote in email what I thought I wanted to write.

That is the very nature of *false authority*, the bane of our project.

What do you call 'our project'? I don't understand your affiliation.

I must say, I'm quite surprised that some people here don't grasp this concept yet, after the projects being in existence for so many years now, almost a decade right? It is a fundamental principle, that we should be citing actual authorities, not false claims to authority.

I'm quite surprised you think I should care about whatever you want me to care because you want me to care about it.

Cheers, Domas
