Do not use me as a statistic to support the claim that the previous GR was misleading. I was not surprised by the aftermath of the GR because I failed to read the text of the resolution (which I seconded!), I was surprised because AJ's elucidating comments were embedded in a flamewar-of-a-thread that on -vote that I had killfiled. I have no interest in blaming people for the present state of affairs -- not AJ, not my co-sponsors of 003 -- only in getting things situated so we can get back to our job of releasing the most complete Free OS that ever existed (whatever the community decides this should actually mean). -- Steve Langasek postmodern programmer
