	Actually ... I'm also quite certain that the list is well
monitored by the Wheaton leadership - and its almost ridiculous to think
otherwise. Whether one agrees with their *ends* or not, their *means* are
unashamedly political ... and they are there because they are relatively
*good* at politics (or at least haven't had to face any significant
challenge) ... and *no one* even partially succeeds at that game without
monitoring places where opposition exists (and in fact usually trying to
plant people and ideas in such forums).
