Hoi,
Waerth has been long enough with the WMF projects not to have asked. I just
checked, he did and as could have been expected it is a well known
"gentleman" who should know better that is again at it being his "gracious"
self. Not only does he refuse the reasonable request not to name names, he
ends his diatribe with a promise to scrutinize the articles on Thailand
which is one of the centers of gravity of Waerth's activities. In my opinion
this can not be seen as anything but a deliberate provocation of Mr Muijz.

Thanks,
     GerardM
