And you wonder why I don't respond to you Frederik? Just imagine if you spent your time working toward a common good, all you could achieve. You're super smart and driven but right now you're driving off a cliff. We need your help, not your observations on the 1,001 ways to destabilise the project. > (This is meant as a funny way to say that, when other important > business > has been resolved, we should perhaps one day clean up the AoA; it is > not > meant to suggest that there was something wrong with those serving on > the OSMF board.) Well I don't really get the joke, but I see your point. And lets be very clear for the audience Frederik that recently you asked for a list of OSMF members and in response I offered and encouraged you to join the board phone call itself to experience what happens and to lay any concerns you have out with people. You refused. So lets be clear again that communications are a two way street and you have a set of ways of communicating and ways you dont want to communicate just like everyone else in the world.
