Roeland and all,
Well said Roeland. And I completely agree. We [INEGroup]
are preparing a public response to this "Dyson Dump", pardon
the metaphor, as well. James Love I on the road currently and has not
yet read this response from he posted to me earlier.
I further find that Esther Dyson did not respond clearly and concisely to
Ralph Naders questions which he clearly requested on June 11th in his
letter. However this seem to be the habit of Esther.
