RE: [humanmarkup-comment] HumanMarkup: Paved With Good Intention s

["Bullard, Claude L (Len)" <clbullar@ingr.com>]

Just this:

A paper published that makes statements about the 
abilities of the participants in a public project 
and other such statements approaches the definition of slander 
regardless of the results.  Given such, a request 
can be made to the body that owns this project and whose 
authority governs this list to initiate remediation.  
 
Whatever one thinks of their own capabilities, one should  
be respectful.  We are trying something difficult 
and we have a long way to go.

Also, be aware that our host authority reserves the rights 
to issue official statements to the press about HumanML 
and has stated that on this list.
