I wasn't trying to ascribe ulterior motives I'm sorry if it came across 
that way. I just wanted to highlight the contradiction in the hope that 
in future people would consider using solutions more in line with 
GNOME's goals and values (where they exist). It's sad that there is not 
a convenient alternative that preserves people's privacy and software 
freedom :-(

That's great, leaving aside privacy and freedom. it's good to have a 
permanent record of these things.

I didn't realise it was such a pain to use the wiki when you want to 
restrict who can edit the page.

Sorry if I offended anyone, I'm a fan of what GNOME stands for so would 
definitely not want to do that.
