I appear not to be able to edit the Water cooler at the moment (is this an artefact of the transfer?) That should be fixed asap...
Fae as you're soliciting for further comment I'll just note the reason I haven’t commented further on the cooler is that I don't think it's productive at the moment - I'm happy with how the board has dealt with things, I don't think we should assume bad faith from Alastair. I do think we should continue to be aware of his - and anyone else's - positions, but that's hardly an interesting comment. Re: "conflict of loyalties" (which is not about COI) well for what it's worth I agree with Charles Matthew's comments on the cooler. I'm not sure that we should be actively looking for more people to be outraged...

A casual inspection suggests it's just a front for malcontents to feed their grievances, or manipulation, into The Signpost - in it's distinctive "Yellow Journalism" style. I've my grievances with The Signpost, far more than I've any worry that Alastair is incapable of managing (i.e. not voting on) issues where his COI is present.
