The way I read Seif's candidacy is that he wants more coordination to take place between different GNOME stakeholders (community, Canonical, RH, Novell, etc) when it comes to the development and design of a technology like GNOME's Shell. This is _perfectly_ reasonable and several people have responded already that they understand and agree with this. Include me in that group. > In future, I would prefer it if you would reply in public, In my opinion is your Seif - Zeitgeist conspiracy theory, crazy. It's also my opinion that it doesn't belong on the foundation-list.

Getting your reply on the foundation-list is your responsibility, not Lefty's. It would even be impolite if he'd have forwarded a private reply from you to him unto a public mailing list.
