What shall I say? I did *not* say this, but that you misunderstood that is
probably the reason for your mail :)

What I say was that it is *good* that he gets bad press for the things
he does. And he certainly deserves that, since getting that bad press is
justified.

You should better stop knowing better what people did or did not do. I
did check the site, but, as I already said, I have no setup like a sight
impaired so I cnanot really judge.

Please take note that the original press release didn't talk about tetx
browsers, so apperently you didn't even read the press release, did you?
;(

Now, *this* is annoying. Your kind of people ("I know what you think/did,
even if you think otherwise") is among the most annoying people, you
know? But I still believe it was just a small misunderstanding, so never
mind ;)

> You just repeated baseless accusations without checking. So much for

You are starting to annoy me. If you read the press release than you'd
know that my "accusations" are based on him ignoring most of the member
nomination process, and this is fact, as he, himself, admitted.

> reality. 

Yes. "Reality". Better read your mail ;) "In reality".

As I mentioned in another mail (have you read it ;), it's very much
about attitude. I didn't want a director which is perfectly suited on a
technical base but (for example) favours solutions from one software over
another. I just wouldn't trust him to be independent. As such, educating
them about icnan but sitll answering their questions is certainly the
polite way.

But, as Andy himself said, "life's too short".
