RE: Legal Question - Re: [wg-review] Concerns

[Roeland Meyer <rmeyer@mhsc.com>]

Pls, forgive my absence. I have been dealing with revenue issues. I *do* run
a busines.
Pls, also forgive what I am about to say; 

Those of us who have been involved from the early stages are very well aware
of the possibility of nullification, of our work. Those of us, whom have
read the archives, know that this has happened in the past, frequently. Many
of us also know that parts of history is not as it appears. However, we are
still here, while others have opted out of the process altogether.

From a personal stand-point, I don't wish to make Patrick Henry's mistake,
when he boycotted the US Constitutional Convention. That action only
deprived the process of his much-needed voice. The process went on
regardless. It was a strategic blunder, on his part, IMHO. Tactically, it
was a mistake.

Now, why do you continue to disrupt this WG with your continuous harping, on
this same point, like we were imbeciles? Yes, we know, we understand (or
most of us do), and we are trying to make this WG work anyway.

Will you please help us focus on the topic at hand?
