'So called'? I believe you 'called it so':

Sorry about the wrap there, but you did start the Subject: of this 
thread.

-Wow- you would really make a most -stunning- real life politican. 
No, you did not say -exactly- any of those things, however in the 
above referenced URL you did say:

"I is my opinion that the HWG should acknowledge that this
threat is real and does indeed occur on the Internet. I believe that
the HWG would be doing a great public service to offer information to
concerned parents about how they can protect their children from child
pornography."

You may certainly feel free to cut a fine line distinction between
'acknowledge ... offer information' and 'pass a resolution', and
between 'this is a real threat' and 'this threat is real'. In the 
above List Of Four the second is facetious, but exactly 'how' should 
the HWG acknowledge or offer information without any or all of the 
remaining three? All we've -got- is a site, resolutions, and -news.

Given such word-tweaking, how is the voting membership supposed to
gauge your candidacy WRT how you will work -with- the GB and -for-
the HWG if you are elected? State your case in plain english, stand 
up for it, and quit waffling around. 

And please don't reply via email, I dropped that thread for the same
syllable-splitting. Post to the list or not at all. If you can't
answer a question without denying the question or asking three more
questions, then just say so.

If you reasons for candidacy are to further the HWG then you have 
merit and would probably do a very good job. If your reasons are to 
just 'get elected' then your gangplank is a yard shy of the boat.

Have a :) day!
