Before anyone answers this question... Julia, I'm not sure this is a good question for on-list discussion. First of all, I'm not sure it's possible for a person who distrusts Jeroen to answer it without violating the guidelines, as doing so necessarily involves making public an assessment, presumably negative, of Jeroen's chraracter. For myself, at least, unless Jeroen himself solicits such an opinion, and unless he gives respondents permission to say things that might ordinarily be considered guideline violations, I don't think I'd be comfortable giving my frank opinion on-list.
