I think the blaming of "the Jeff Williams-factor" for lack of DNSO
participation is a very faulty statement to make, Marc.  He has posted
only 2 messages here in the month of January.  The IDNO has had to
deal with him more than the GA has.

But I was NOT being sarcastic, I was serious.  Roberto and Harald
effectively got rid of Baptista, and all but the dominant personality
of Jeff's.  While I would like to see that personality disappear as
well, the fact is that he has a right to participate, even under a
pseudonym, provided he abides by the same rules we do.

I don't see JW has being a factor at all in the apathy in the DNSO.
The problem in the DNSO goes much deeper, and I think the JW comment
incorrectly trivializes the real issues.
