Re: [Wikimedia-l] Purpose of this list?

Phoebe, why are you spamming my email? Can you not take whatever issues you have to personal email, rather than posting to everyone subscribed, willingly or not?

But as you are in my email, weren't you one of those that exhibited craven cowardice in respect to the Image Filters? Remind me how did it go again.

First they'll be a filter because its the right thing to do.

Oh wait on, the commons porn hounds object and won't vote for us again.

Correction contrary to what you may have heard there will be no image filter. So please can you carry on uploading toothbrush masturbation images, cucumbers up vaginas, and genital piercing images. Also give
them everyday tags so that elementary school kids to stumble over them when searching for things like "pearl necklace".

The Wikimedia Foundation - Spineless to the last.
