Kevin, Obviously I cannot judge Jim's intentions and I think he meant good. However, everybody (Jim too) knows that http://www.dlsi.ua.es/~mlf/ is me, and this is now public. His unilateral decisions, which in my opinion clearly challenge the power of the PMC are also public. I have been left in a very delicate and very weak position. I stand by my decision to resign.
BTW I cannot legally read my paper unles I access it from my University which is subscribed. Mikel 2014-08-18 11:36 GMT+02:00, Kevin Donnelly <[email protected]>: > On 18 Aug 2014 11:06:39 Mikel L.
