David, your statement confirms that this was an opinion, and based on
your wording I have to assume that this was not an official position
of the WMF but the personal opinion of some of the staff.

As for significance, I made no claim either way in my email, for some
reason you seem to be reading my text negatively as if I was attacking
the WMF or Sue personally. I apologise if I have used some offensive
language or phrasing that gave you such a perception but I would like
to point out that I did not mention staff or individuals, only the
organization.

I think that the opinions of the Executive Director of the WMF should
be considered significant, so we are in agreement.

Cheers,
Fae
