I think it's a real pity that the first public push for this initiative 
(which could be beneficial for GNU in the long run) started with you 
kicking down Richard who had just been unfairly treated by the public 
and the press in the preceding scandal.

I haven't seen a lot of the subsequent discussions on this mailing list, 
I'm sure, but in my mind your success is emotionally entangled with 
damaging the reputation of a good man.

And that is something you *will* have to work on fixing (because I'm 
sure others have similar sentiments).
