Kevin,
Let me know when you have recovered from the concussion you have incurred, which I hope is soon and I hope you are getting better, and then I would urge you to re-look at the issues and re-present them, and I would be more than happy to discuss publicly right here.
It would be unfair of you to expect me to be able to comment frankly (which is my preferred way) right now, when what you are writing here, on Commons, and in the comments section of Pete's blog post may not be Kevin Gorman, Wikipedian-in-Residence at UC Berkeley, but Kevin Gorman, the guy who has received a nasty knock to the head.
Until then, I would prefer not to comment further.
Cheers,
Russavia
