:::: If anything, me rattling a few cages is what got the ball rolling.  If I had done nothing, that SPI would have just sat there and sat there for who knows how long.  My credibility is intact - I said all along I wasn't the sock, and I was proven correct (you've dealt with me long enough to know I don't do things the way "Fruit" did).  Sometimes "the process" needs a kick in the pants to get it rolling - that's not only the case for Wikipedia, but real life as well.  Could I have gone about it a little better...maybe, but there are times when you have to take the bull by the horns and get things rolling if you want to see things get done.  Wikipedia (like the U.S. government in many ways) has become a big bureaucratic pile of mud, full of red tape and mumbo-jumbo.  Just standing there at the mercy of "the process" is in many ways like being (literally) stuck in the mud.  What is really more important when it gets right down to it - the end result or the process?  It's like a chef that's more worried about cracking an egg in just the perfect way, rather than actually making a meal with said egg.
