Bruce,

I think the proper etiquette (I know some will thing it strange that I 
comment on proper etiquette ;-) ) is if you don't state your affiliation 
with and imply it is official, e.g. "as a member board of the Bo Diddly 
Foundation I would like to comment...." or sign you name with such an 
implication, e.g., "Buddy Holly, Director of the Bo Diddly Foundation." 
your comments should be taken as personal and not views of the 
organization.
