reynardo: (WTF)
Many many years ago - in fact, around the time I fell pregnant with [livejournal.com profile] da_norvegicus, I belonged to a citizen's lobby group called Results. Their general aim (at that time, anyway), was to lobby governments to better direct the funds being given to other countries. In particular, they wanted to see funds go into clean water, sanitation, primary health care, primary education and other basic issues.

I thought I'd see how they were doing, so I looked them up on Wikipedia, and was surprised not to see them there. (When you think of some of the groups that have large pages on it, it is odd.)

So I thought I'd look backwards, and hit their web site to try and find their founder's name, the guy who started it 30 years ago.

And I can't find the guy at all.

Nowhere on their site. Not on their "history" page, or on the "who we are" or any of those pages. It's as if the organisation sprang, fully formed, like Athena from the head of Zeus.

(Of course, what's most likely is internal conflict, a split, and a re-writing of the information. But it's still a bit odd).
