E-mail OTRS and you're dealing

can't see the e-mails.
However if OTRS can't it through we are dealing with a situation more
complex than setting the record strait
Now, along comes another way of people setting
the record straight,
and you
reject it because a) it doesn't comply with policy b) people may pay
$1,000
to impersonate someone c) you choose to be cynical about their
identity
checking d) it doesn't make sense to you.
The kind of people who might normally be expect to spend that kind of
amount on reputation management have better and cheaper options.
To wit, why not pay $1,000 to get someone else to deal with OTRS for
you? For $1,000 surely you can hire an expert in the OTRS process to
draft up a letter, have a notary to come to your house, notarize your
signature on the document, and scan it in.
Actually, that might not be possible. It seem simple to you because you
are familiar with Wikipedia; the chances of a wealthy celebrity, or
anyone they might hire, being so is slim.
And don't tell me they could hire some banned Wikipedian... Although some
public relations professionals are getting training and might someday be
able to actually get something done.
