I have no idea where you got the idea that I was asking the Foundation
to be responsible for other people's actions. I'll quote you again the
text (quoted above) that I was replying to:

"Danny... doesn't want an official decision of the Foundation on record."

In this case, it was an "office action", which appears to generally
equate to "putting stuff in the memory hole".

Is it Foundation policy to hide official decisions of the Foundation?
Or is it Danny policy? Either way, it appears that the management of
this project is asymptotically approaching that of the Open[sic]
Directory Project.
