Perhaps you should take a moment, and replace every instance in the
emails you are sending to the list of "Cary Bass" to "Stevertigo" to
determine out exactly how positive and fair your comments have been.

What the worst thing is, that I've been now forced by your comments to
take the time to respond to you on email lists rather than working on
substantially more important and valuable uses of the time that the
Foundation expects of me.

This will be the last email I have on this topic. I'm going to be
setting my wikien-l list to "nomail" for the time being so I can get
useful work done.
