Hi Jon,

I've left some comments on the talk page. [1]

I found your comment that Wikimedia UK has been inhibited by "An Animal Farm culture of ‘Volunteers good, staff bad" outrageous. That's never been the case, as is clearly demonstrated by the fact that we have staff rather than being an entirely volunteer-based organisation. Please can you either provide evidence to back up your statement here, or apologise for it.

Oh, good, a flame war. With a bit of talent and application, it could be made to last to, what, Sunday evening? (Ex-staff being thin on the ground, perhaps this member of that select group can comment that there is at least something in what Jon is pointing to here.)
