As a passive reader of this thread, I'd like to come to both of your defenses. Greg, I don't think anyone was reading your thread with that as the implication. I certainly didn't take it that way, and I don't think Ryan did. He was making a supplemental point of the issue. No big deal, both posts are well thought out and while slightly contrary in nature, have the same end point. -- ~Keegan http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Keegan _______________________________________________ foundation-l mailing list foundation-l@lists.wikimedia.org Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-l
