Not quite sure who this "proxy war" is against. Frankly, there are reporting requirements on chapters, and so significant matters should be documented.

... and that's a good example of why I now have zero motivation to comment on anything that WMUK does nowadays. I should really have said "publicly recorded". I just want to see what actually happened just a few years being properly described. But it feels like a battle to do that - so why should I bother?
