This is something which I'm undertaking of my own accord, out of curiosity and belief that it can make a difference. This effort is not officially endorsed by the project in any way, there is no intention to push for such an endorsement in the nearest future either. As for the concerns, I've seen approximately 5:1 ratio of positive-to-negative feedback on the idea, so yes, I don't have a problem ignoring these concerns. > What's a rant about zionism got to do with this?

After I saw it, I've changed the configuration to limit posting to subscribers only (I know it's controversial, but I guess that's a lesser evil then getting them flooded with spam).
