Ahem. Quite the opposite from a personal attack, I was clarifying
that I did not consider Durova to be one of those who has been
less than forthcoming in this particular instance. I do apologize
for the slight sarcasm, though sarcasm does not a personal attack
make.

Though, since the petition has been brought up in this thread - and I
repeat and underline, not by me in this instance - one thing that makes it
very hard for me to see how people are expected to support such a petition,
when they don't even know what the proposal that was officially
(not Durovas personal one) presented to the board by the one group
that was officially tasked with preparing a proposal, what that proposal
contains.

We still don't know what that proposal entailed, and hence there is
completely insufficient knowledge for anyone not in the know, to be
able to figure out if the board really fell short, or was instead doing
the right and responsible thing in not taking action, beyond encouraging
people to go forward without an official blessing by the board.
