Those were 'scare quotes: around 'vanity project,' I was referring to your saying (and this is a :quote quote') :"I don't think having our round table's name included in the list of core values is going to make us any more or less successful in making that case.

I ask because we worked very hard and made many substantive arguments for why Social Responsibilities should be a listed core value and we won't that argument. Now that substantive ...
