I hope the FAQ covered everything anyone had doubts about.
And by that affiliation statement, I wasn't badmouthing affiliation as a concept, just that the services of the Pax Tsukuru offers should not qualify as "affiliation". It's in a similar sense as if when you have internet service, you aren't "affiliated" with your ISP, you're a customer.
Besides, the negative connotation that I spoke of then was just that if Pax Tsukuru was affiliated with something, it makes itself look like a player in some rediculous power struggle.
