Regardless of whether there was any 'right' or 'wrong' position, it appears that there were irreducible differences. I only recall one side expressing a willingness to compromise. My memory may be imperfect, though. >> The only ones willing to keep committing were >> those who were determined to bulldoze there agenda into the repository. > > 5.

Now, I call that a mandate. Please clarify what you mean by 'mandate' here. That the board was mandating that you drop the Merlin TLP idea? > Yet, Excalibur TLP > without me and Steve was manna from heaven for this group, but it was > definately a matter of balkanization along people and not technology. > Something Mr Coar would never agree to. One thing I don't agree to is people putting words in my mouth. Please cease doing so. >> Then why in the world are you bringing your grief back here? > > 8. "grief".

I believe this is a cultural miscommunication. I think Aaron meant grief as in 'giving grief': >> In retrospect, do I regret that we now are active outside ASF?

'If you have no regrets about having moved outside the ASF, why do you care what happens there and why are you contributing to this thread?' Aaron can correct me if I'm wrong. In any event, on the face of it I consider your 'my dear little boy' remark to be condescending, offensive, and uncalled-for. But that too might be a lingual/cultural misunderstanding. > Maybe I am just satanistic sadist who like to kick a dead horse.
