Re-read my post to see that this is false. And next time, for the love of 
God delete some of it when you reply; clearly you need to read it twice but 
I surely do not.

What I said, paraphrasing briefly, is that (a) I prefer email over board; 
(b) most of the community appears to think the same way; (c) none of it 
matters, since boards already exist for your use and pleasure; and (d) if 
you are unhappy with any of the above or you believe there is any other 
better way, you are perfectly free to try it because you, like everyone 
else, are a part of this community and it is a *community project*.

Again, the "Fedora Project" is not a corporation, it is a COMMUNITY 
PROJECT. This means that the community is responsible for its progress, 
use, and advancement, and so anything that any one of us does to help the 
Fedora Project is done as part of the Fedora Project Community. Hence, that 
*thing* (as you put it) is indeed operated by the Fedora Project.

Red Hat, Inc. is just one member of this community. The fact that they are 
the most active, most prolifically contributing, most supportive, most 
involved member is highly laudable... but it does not de facto make them 
responsible for, or give them ownership of, the Fedora Project. They have 
specifically gone to great lengths to reinforce this vision.

Which part of all of this do you not understand, or with which part of this 
do you not agree? Please remember to trim your post when you reply.
