[Foundation-l] "antisocial production"

[Gerard Meijssen]

Hoi,
The signpost is something of the English Wikipedia. I do not frequent there.
Also you are wrong on principles when you expect people of this list to give
the English Wikipedia all their attention. This is after all the foundation
list.
Thanks.
