Evan,
I will answer more of your points soon, but I want to clear something up

I know everything you have done specifically stated whom I was
addressing in the PS.

If you want to take this role.
> Evan aka "The Expert"
That is your choice.
Please know that I know all that you are doing for Free Software, and
certainly did not wish to challenge that. This arguement is crutial.
