This point can't be overstressed. Compared to
organizations running the
other nine of the top ten websites, Wikimedia Foundation is miniscule, and
should still be considered so even if/when the Foundation meets the goals
set in the strategic plan.
Indeed. This thread appears to have been an exercise in:
1. Why Wasn't I Consulted? [1]
2. I wasn't consulted! You set out to ignore me!
3. Therefore, I have the right to troll for months and assume the
worst faith of everyone.
4. In fact, I have a *moral obligation* to make a massive dick of myself.
None of these are, in fact, the case, even a little bit.
