I'm fairly sure Wichert posted several months ago that he was opposed to Branden's proposal, but I can't seem to find the message locally (and can't even remember what list it was on...). The only reason I remember it is that his opposition surprised me (given his leading role in the last Non-Free Debacle (tm)). However, I do think there's a contrast between being a true leader and getting drawn into petty squabbles. What's the point of getting involved if one side (or the other) is going to go after you because you can't represent the whole project while taking sides with the other group of militant fanatics? ;-) Chris -- Chris Lawrence Titles/affiliations at http://www.lordsutch.com/chris/info.html Office: 662-915-5949 Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] / [EMAIL PROTECTED]
