No, you're talking semantics.

I never chastised you for any such committee. I couldn't care less. What I 
can't stand, however, is hypocrisy.

You and Ross alike are making a very large double-leap here. You were on that 
committee and you produced a list. How do you know that the situation isn't the 
same on the other committee? You've already admitted to not knowing who's on 
the other committee; therefore how could you possibly know its methods of 
operation?

But to sum things up - who shives a git? Who cares if this 'alternate route 
list' is being produced by a collaborative effort or by one gung-ho go getter?

I'll have to revert to an age-old question that nobody seems to be able to 
answer;

How does this affect your enjoyment of the hobby?

Telling me that your panties are in a wad is not an acceptable answer, BTW.
