David: although this was a private reply I am assuming that is in
error, and i feel it is appropriate to make public, and wrap up this
thread.

thank you for being literally the first person to very kindly give an explicit
indication that i've been heard.  that's all that any of you had to do, and
now that i feel i've been heard i am no longer deeply frustrated and angry.

Gabriel i very much appreciate your efforts to tell me that "i am
the problem" (see #empathy above) and i acknowledge those efforts.
let's not reduce the S/N ratio any further, eh?

perhaps everyone can learn from this experience, and some point
down the line appreciate that, as an outsider with no vested interest,
i was the only member in this community that could safely raise that
"The Rust Foundation Emperor has no Clothes" without damage to
their tenure, client base, or career, in what is one of the highest-paying
most strategically critical FOSS Projects in the world.

in summary i look forward to seeing the public results of the consideration of
conversion of the Rust Trademark to a Certification Mark and the clear benefits
and natural fit with existing FOSS development practices that entails.
