[committee] 6 hour warning: This Week's Committee Meeting Agenda

[Ash Tyndall]

Now I know this isn't overtly stated on the email, but you've made your
position quite clear that you don't trust me.[1]

Now, putting aside the fact that I am already in two trusted roles (door and
webmasters), and that the only person who has expressed a problem with the
actions noted is you, I think fundamentally I cannot answer your questions
to your satisfaction.

No, I won't play pranks on anyone with my winadmin privileges. But how can I
make anyone believe me?
I think most of committee would be of the opinion that I have sufficient
trust to take my word for it. But seeing as you have apparently come to this
issue with your decision already made, I will make no attempt to sway you.
