You're part of it as of 2 hours ago when you replied to Matt's comment in TFA asking who should step in to replace the people that he locked out of the previous team? Or were you on the team before that comment?

> Matt: We should find some new team reps to replace them, do you have any suggestions?

> Blake: I’m of course happy to do whatever it takes to make WordPress Accessible. How can I jump in and help?

Are you 100% sure you're "not affiliated with WP Engine in any way, financially or otherwise"? Silver Lake has its hands in a lot of companies. Odds are someone you work with in the WordPress world is connected, or one of the companies you work with.

That's the problem with a vague checkbox like that where the guidance is "talk to your lawyer." What happens when he decides he has a problem with you and uses your clicking that checkbox against you? Are you sure you can fend that off from every angle someone with his resources can attack? Can the lawyer you can afford?
