I don't want to single out *anything*. However, in all fairness, much
of the acrimony about  how WMF is doing "business as usual" could have
been avoided with even just that little bit of transparency. It is
rather grotesque for people on the board of trustees complaining folks
in the community aren't aware of their real views, when they don't air
those views to the public.
