On second thoughts/read-through, I want to retract my previous email. I skim-read through Tom's email, and was thinking more in terms of 'Wikimedia Commons' vs ''Commons' in terms of 'House of Commons', and hence there being high-profile visibility for the Wikimedia sister projects. I was _not_ replying in terms of the 'Page 3' interpretation as per the newspaper that goes under the name of 'The Sun', which I think is fundamentally sexist and ethically wrong.
