Look, we have quite enough non-constructive passive-aggressive stuff going on here without it being added to with thinly veiled threats like this. Please stop.
I think the main issue that people have here is that Sue was very private about her private life, at least in public. Now we have the polar opposite of the ED's significant other showing up and, in the eyes of some, 'consorting with the enemy'. This is a pretty opinionated community and this sort of thing will raise eyebrows. Quite a lot of regulars on this list have a troubled and lengthy history with some of the WO regulars, and so you're probably going to get more criticism than plaudits for publicly engaging with them, regardless of how good your intentions are.
To be honest, more than Wil's hanging out with Greg Kohs and the like, I'm a little more disappointed that there hasn't been much interaction as far as I can see between Lila and the rank and file volunteers. The relationship between volunteers and Sue was stretched at times, and it hurt the movement, so I hope that Lila is just testing the waters before rolling up her sleeves and jumping into the sharkpool to meet us :-)
Cheers, Craig

Hi Pete, you do realize that Lila reads this list, right? That seems rather candid for someone who works so closely with the WMF.
If that was not for public eyes, you might consider a public apology. Not for your own professional interests, mind you, but because Lila's a person like the rest of us and she has feelings.
