I trust everyone's word. What I do not trust is that what I interpret from what they say is in line with what would be my own opinion. I do align with and value very much the opinions of both Dora and you. But there is a lot of information and no citations in your messages. So it makes me shake my head and take a deep breath in order to stay in my own terms. I do not mean to imply something wretched. But rather my own misunderstanding. Please forgive my imprecise characterization about gossip. I mean that citations of exact words are better for me to make my own interpretation. Otherwise I feel directed. Thank you for your continued contributions. I think they are more valuable than the piles of money that FSF gathers. I do know that it takes money to run servers. But that is less of a resource than fidelity. _______________________________________________ Discussion mailing list Discussion@lists.fsfellowship.eu https://lists.fsfellowship.eu/mailman/listinfo/discussion
