It's finally time to publish the long awaited emails, starting with the two that prove beyond all doubt that Gary Weiss was indeed Mantanmoreland all along.

I know that presenting these several months ago would have (possibly) made the whole Mantanmoreland RfAr process a little easier, but for several reasons, I opted against it.

I hope you understand.

(though not relating directly to Wikipedia, many more fascinating Weiss emails will be published soon. Watch this space for more).

I don't want to be a wet blanket, but technically, those e-mails from Gary Weiss never say that he edited Wikipedia. He danced around it, with "You just go into edit mode..." and "I may insert a reference...". But he never expressly said that he edited Wikipedia.

(I'm not an apologist for Weiss, and I consider Judd Bagley a friendly acquaintance, so... you know I'm just pointing it out, that everyone should read carefully.)
