Errrr...since when did the number of people working on the GWN have 
anything to do with horribly misquoting somebody's blog?  Are you 
suggesting there is a critical number of folks working on the GWN which 
will automagically prevent this sort of thing from happening?  Sorry, I 
don't buy that.  The issue here is that Brix was never contacted to 
review the GWN content prior to having his blog publically twisted into 
inaccurate bullshit.
