  It's very simple.

  I suggested a boycott. In a thread at Slashdot.

  I discovered after having done so that an AC in a different thread had done so a couple of hours earlier, and they suggested the original dates.

  I went back and noted that (an unknown) someone had had the idea before I had, and at that time I named it the Slashcott.

  I named it, so it's mine, and I'm free to make whatever rules I want to.

  And people are free to tell me to get stuffed if they don't want to observe those rules.

  (apparently I'm psychic, as I already know what at least one of the replies to this post is going to say : - )

  So if you were looking for the official Slashcott Steering Committee, or any of the sub-committees, I'm it. I decide what's official and official news of the status of the boycott is available wherever I can find to post it.
