What, you think, I personally am not allowed to even _talk_ about anything to do with OSMF unless it's (e.g.) on this mailing list?! Come on, Christoph, that's ridiculus. If someone emails me, am I required to publish that email and any reply I make?! Seriously that's not what the committment to open communication channels means.

A web page is open protocols. The existance of some JS trying to nudge you to sign up doesn't make it "closed". Annoying maybe, but it's still open. Both archive.org & archive.is appear to be able to arcive reddit posts, so you have a way to view it.

Anyway, I'll save the web page after and send it to you, just to be 100% sure.
