That's somewhat amusing in its timing, considering that the > Chairman of the Board, as a private individual not in an official capacity, Tim: Bear in mind that in the ASF we almost never have our board/chair or committer hats on - but virtually always talk as normal peer to peer beings. Only seldom wil someone with his 'hat' make a statement; and in that case you will usually see that that then comes from (in my case) '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' and often has an pgp signature. Things are mostly about consensus; and rarely, if ever, do we need more. The number of messages like that are typically less than 2 a month for me. (And most go to license or copy right violators anyway). (And - yes I know that there _ARE_ people who use their ASF address for normal day to day work - and I personally frown upon that. ;-) ;-). But, and slightly with less of a smiley, is that the fact that your message thus comes across as a bit crass - and implies actions by officials; which in most cases are confused with their personal stances. Dw, just a person.
