You did miss something, that I was always in that club:)

Theoretically. We don't need developers. We need some people with PhD in
political sciences, or at least working no less than 5 years working in
aljazeera.
A person works in a group because the group is more than the sum of its parts.
A person stays in a group because the group is at least the sum of its members.
When friction losses become more than production, something is wrong. Add to
that 'thou shalt' and ..

Thanks (you know it's worth a lot). Believe me it is not what I like. I have
spent some energy trying to integrate here. I can reconsider if and when things
do change. That is not when we use FriBiDi not miniBiDi. That's when we have
healthy discussions, give enough reasons, get used to benefit from past
experience of people in the wide Arab community and people in the wide open
source community, etc. With all due respect, I didn't come to Arabeyes to spend
my leisure time resolving problems that are already discussed elsewhere.
And I am not saying I am leaving so as to get my agenda passed. This is exactly
the way I don't like to pass things.
I am not stopping open source work, neither stopping being Arab, so we got to
benefit from one another.
Probably I owe an apology to Munzir here, as he was the one who convinced me to
join. Well, it didn't work.
Salam,
Muhammad Alkarouri
