Hi,

I am a Wikipeidan; I heard your bit on Open Source. The thing that confuses me is that you present yourself as being opposed to Wikipedia and our “Neutral Point of View”, but “[t]he only neutral point of view is as many points of view as are available” is a very good summary of our (perhaps poorly-named) NPOV policy (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WP:NPOV).

Do you think that we don’t live up to our stated policy or do you disagree with the policy?
