Apart from belabouring the obvious, you have said little else here.

aJust because you assert it to be so? So, the local golf club,
where a lot of my company business actually gets done, somehow
belongs to my company?

Rubbish. Wehn a hundred or se debian developers go to a hotel,
and stay there for days and days, and spend all their time talking
debian business, and the invoker of this meeting is debian developer,
now gves us a right to make hotel/university policy?

What branden does, or does not do, on his own time as an OPN
chanop, really should be unrelated to the GR.
