OSI has the advantage of being run by people who have earned the trust
of the open source community.  Despite the entry into this mailing list
of a long succession of fast-talkers -- some of whom have committed
gaffes like slamming OSI's longtime, highly respected general counsel as
"controversial" -- nobody else has that distinction.  Nor merited it.
