Ah, i see. Whats missing is the signature line at the end of the document. (?)
eg.:
Mr. Pop eye, Snake Oil Corp. Inc., Dallas, TX, USA, 2010

Ah cool, very good. :)

Thank you, I honor the board.

I am not accusing or fingerpointing here, If you feel so, please
reread my writings carefully.
I have serious and neutral questions about the situation arround
freedom and how Fedora is run and ruled.
If you feel them as unpleasant, I must excuse myself.
Anyway, you are not forced to answer them at all.
best wishes,
Sascha
