John, are you claiming the entire conversation last week had nothing to do with the merits of the tool itself? That's a very sad statement. "building up trust" implies actions. Creating a tool that mimics what other tools already do implies exactly that. Ignoring the actual tool, and instead conce

Just stop this. This has been a fine example of how to decrease membership of a list that should be productive and friendly but has been anything but so far. On 18.11.2017 18:42, john whelan wrote: No you need to build up trust again and it takes time.  Only then will your ideas start to gai
