How can you ever only think about something like that? Please, before 
making such assumptions use your grey cells.

People who talk like you in public to miscredit others just are ... 
better not to say otherwise I'd reach the same level you have and I 
definitely won't.

If you have a problem with Gerard or someone else I'd kindly invite you 
to do this privately and not in public mailing lists.

You are not only miscrediting Gerard (who gives practially all the time 
he has to the wikimedia projects), but publicly also Kennisnet (an 
organisation that really does a lot for education and is an example of 
how the world should think)  and all contributors of the Wikimedia 
projects (and I am one of those).

Another thing I would kindly ask you is to reconsider the language you 
use - certain terms are not appropriate for public. You could have 
written "basically get not considered as they should" - not everyone is 
used to a certain "style".

I am upset, really upset.

Best wishes,

Sabine Cretella
