Hi Jesse,

I personally totally understand that need but I also think this is a case-by-case thing.

It does not address my concern. I personally was not able to follow the discussion threads with all the censored messages from committee members, not outside sources. -- Best Regards, Muhammad Yahia _______________________________________________ foundation-l mailing list foundation-l@lists.wikimedia.org Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-l
