Did you bother to speak to any of those seeking nominations for the WSSRT or did you just reprint the WSR PLC's press release unquestioningly?

 

The one that has now mysteriously disappeared from their own website?

 

Hi,thanks for asking. I can assure you that we did attempt to reach out to some of those involved, but did not receive a response.

 

Did you email wssrtcandidates@gmail.com?

You seem to have repeated almost verbatim the statements from the PLC and the WSSRT uncritically and with very little scrutiny of those statements.
