Hi!

Who is 'we', whom do you represent? :-)

You didn't tell what you represent and what policy you talk about, I don't know where to read about it.

Thats very sad. I'm used to my mailing list posts being cited ;-)

I cannot speak for Foundation at the moment, so I don't know why they don't go "on the record". I don't go "on the record" because I don't see any purpose, I already wrote in email what I thought I wanted to write.

What do you call 'our project'? I don't understand your affiliation.

I'm quite surprised you think I should care about whatever you want me to care because you want me to care about it.
