I praise the man and his revolutionary efforts. I just don't think he should be speaking for a different entity unless they are standing next to him at the microphone, so to speak. On the other hand, I only think this for the sake of appearances. I think he runs an amazing project in a far more open fashion than most people are accustomed to. Thus, his minor missteps are more visible to everyone. I see this as commendable and natural. However, those not used to being as open will point a laugh at times. Unfortunately that can hurt his cause. My respect for him is not diminished. I'm only offering opinionated feedback, even though he will never see it. Alan
