It's not standard netiquette. Not without asking your source first.

I think that goes too far. Claus means well and he has contributed to  
developments in a positive way, even if he does not oversee all the  
long term consequences and complexities, but that last comment is  
also true of me. That is why you have to discuss things, to make sure  
you make as few as possible mistakes. He reminds me only a lttle  but  
of RMcD because of his insistence that his own views and experiences  
are the gold standard.
