Luis Villa has emailed me to tell me about "weev's" tainted past.
Apparently he has a Swastika tattoo, and says mean things. That's
particularly not cool, and I really have no interest in learning more
about the fellow.

Additionally, Mr. Villa objected to my use of the "if" in the sentence
where I wrote:

> "And so I apologize if I have chosen someone with a tainted past"

So please rewrite my above sentence in your mind without the "if"
(s/if/that/), based on Mr. Villa's above information. I included the
"if", because as I said, I didn't ever look into the background of the
author of that link.

Links on the internet are dangerous, and I did not fully vet
everything the author wrote before linking to the one article! I do
agree with what the author said in that particular post, but I
disagree with everything else that Mr. Villa has pointed me to.

As an aside (and not referring to Mr. Villa) there are a lot of people
on foundation-list who are quite rude and/or disrespectful. I'm "from"
the internet, so my feelings aren't hurt by this, but I'm not happy to
see it happening _here_ either.
