I'm not convinced that you're really demonstrating here a willingness to engage with Herbert to find a solution. It's a shame that, for example, your conversation with Herbert had to get CC'd to the Technical Committee so soon - clearly you hadn't yet finished even quoting standards at each other. I think it would be much more helpful if we all tried to be constructive - after all, we are engaged in a joint project, not a war. I think Herbert has been showing a willingness to engage and a constructive attitude, in at least the mails I see here so far. (I haven't gone and read the bug log yet). If you have a complaint about another developer's personal behaviour, then you should take it up with the project management. Ian.
