Indeed, I remember some wonderful conversations, particularly one in which Domas and I attempted to drink all the beer in Argentina. At lunch. We were THIS close. It's because of that interaction and the solid base that it's built on that I felt comfortable telling Domas he was being snarky and, because of the smiley at the front of his reply to me, I know he was attempting to be humorous. For the record, no consultants were harmed in the making of my email. As for Tyler, I think it's important to remember that this is an outward facing list - emails may be read and responded to by people who have little to no knowledge of the Foundation and we have a responsibility - I think it's stronger than that - a moral imperative - to respond to good faith questions in a good-faith nature. That's where I think Domas slipped up. I also think he realizes it, and there's no need to expand on that. > > I don't feel entirely doomed now, that I get community support.

Maybe I really shouldn't send emails when severely jetlagged? ;-D P.S. A lesson we've all learned once upon a time, usually the hard way. ____________________ Philippe Beaudette Facilitator, Strategy Project Wikimedia Foundation phili...@wikimedia.org Imagine a world in which every human being can freely share in the sum of all knowledge.
