I still don't get it.  Nothing at that link indicates a "member of the
Ubuntu Community" to me (there's a note that it's "empowered by
Shuttleworth Foundation", but that hardly makes a poster a member of the
Ubuntu Community), and

You know, I _was_ going to sign the Code once I figured out how to get my
gpg key set up, but if people are going to start going to these lengths to
invoke the Code, I think I'd rather not.  I believe in politeness, but not
enforced by third parties snooping in my private correspondence.
