Um, yes, yes you did.

I'm not questioning Brian's commitment to the project. That was never my 
point, intention, or something I'd even entertain.

If you actually read my emails, you'd have noticed that I'm a huge fan 
of the project independently of my admiration of you, Alex.

I'm going to assume you're sleep deprived or something, because I really 
believed you knew me better than to be that ungrateful to Brian.

Brian has done more for OpenNIC than anyone could possible ask of him, 
much less expect of him.

I do not expect anything more.

Yes, it would be personally be preferable to give the incompetant 
service providers an inch of legitimacy to their claim that what we do 
here, from our own personal expense, could possibly be illegitimate.

My standards are physically impossible, and I do not expect ANYONE to 
ever meet them. It is unfair to anyone who's human.

Brian has done much more than necessary to win my admiration.

It was NEVER my intention to imply that Brian is not devoted to OpenNIC, 
or is not committed enough. I could not ask more from any mere mortal.

I hope that you do not actually believe I would be that ungrateful and 
disrespectful to Brian, and you are merely sleep deprived.
