Re: [ga] Addressing the Problems

["Patrick Corliss" <patrick@quad.net.au>]

Hi Abel

I am impressed with your analysis of these difficult issues.  Thank you.

However, there has been a history of conflict on the GA list which you
cannot understand.   Some of the key figures are Jeff Williams, Eric Dierker
and myself.  And, of course, William X. Walsh !!!

You are very close to understanding, imo, but you are not quite there yet.
Have a look at my recent post to DPF which clarifies the issue as I see it.

Unfortunately, "the personalities" are more important than "the issues".

Best regards

No, the NC does.

Debatable.

No.  It is misused by some people to prevent things getting done.

Oh, the objections will be there, you have my word on that.

True.  But bush lawyers will argue about the process by which the suggestions
were accepted by the GA.   It is an argument of "form" over "substance".
