You should know by now that in Wikimedia discussing at length usually
only takes place for topics like cantonese or moldovian wikipedias, not
for such things as hiring a legal counsel ;-)

Add my congratulations here - so far my experiences with Brad have been
entirely positive and I'm really glad that we have a fulltime lawyer
aboard now :-)
