Dear Dr. Ulozas, (01)
While it is your prerogative to leave this forum at any time you desire[1]. (02)
We are, in fact, trying to take this conversation off-list. I
apologize if this annoyed you. (03)
However, if this whole matter appears to you to be a juvenile "pissing
contest," then I think you have totally missed the point. This is of
strategic importance to this and other similar communities, as it
relates to core-values and sustainability issues concerning open
collaboration among members of trusted communities of practice.
Various messages within this very thread should probably have
explained it clearly enough (or I would be happy to answer any
question you may have, off-list.) (04)
[1] the instructions to unsubscribe is at the footer of every
message. If you run into problems, feel free to email me offline. (05)
Regards. =ppy
