I don't like being wrong, and it really bugs me when I am. (I guess this must leave me in a perpetual state of being bugged.) While I still feel that Michael may have made some errors, that's no excuse for me to misbehave, and it also certainly doesn't mean that there wasn't honor in his actions. Call me wishy-washy if you want, but I will reverse my position on something immediately if it becomes apparent that I was in correct. So I hope Michael will accept my apologies.
Some comments: - Michael Larabel's original Phoronix article was posted the DAY BEFORE my initial post to OGML. The timing of that is coincidence, since I didn't even know about it. Michael Meeuwisse's email, which ended up in Larabel's second article, was written in response to Larabel's first article. This was completely unrelated to what I did. While I may not agree with some of what Meeuwisse said, he was merely responding to the article and presenting his true interpretation of events. - I note that Meeuwisse mentioned that we were associated with a company, and he claimed that we (the OGP, members of Traversal, etc.) did something improper. He did NOT (in his posting) claim that Tech Source did anything improper. Most importantly, he did not mention Tech Source by name. While you can flame Traversal all you want, I'm worried about making Tech Source look bad. (They have been very good to us.) I interpret Michael's omission of names as an intentional act of careful discretion, which is very much appreciated. - While Traversal's role was common knowledge on OGML, I'm inclined to accept other people's assertion that it was not common knowledge elsewhere. This means that we did not communicate this very well elsewhere, and we should have. People shouldn't be expected to read through past OGML archives to find out the details. -- Timothy Normand Miller http://www.cse.ohio-state.edu/~millerti Open Graphics Project _______________________________________________ Open-graphics mailing list [email protected] http://lists.duskglow.com/mailman/listinfo/open-graphics List service provided by Duskglow Consulting, LLC (www.duskglow.com)
