Correction, not "founders are owners" - "doers are maintainers". The 
resources are being maintained by members of this group (the planet, the 
wiki, etc.), not by "founders".

I just reacted to Vidya's trademark tone in her message, which has 
consistently been a bone of contention - that she "owns" the group and 
wants to "control" it. I see no one else taking that stand.

I am neither a founder of this group (the closest I get is that I am 
married to one of them, and she is inactive because of the atmosphere 
here), nor an active maintainer of the facilities (unless you consider 
providing web space to the group as "maintenance").

And I don't own the domain, either. In fact, all I really have to do 
with this group is that I wanted to help it meet its goals, but with the 
kind of attitude one has to deal with here (see Vidya's note), that is 
really difficult to motivate oneself into.

Like I said, there is room for more groups. Some like a practical 
approach, some a political one. I clearly love the former, hate the 
latter (Talk is Cheap, Show Me The Code), so clearly, we are at 
loggerheads.

Please, do move on to the in.linuxchix.org domain. It will put this 
thing to rest, and stop demotivating those who subscribe to one view or 
the other.
