An excellent choice. The whole of this has been an exercise in futility
from day one. The knowledge of hidden limits made clear last week when
the patent applications were published was clearly available to one of
our members when we started and they chose to jerk several hundred
people around for months in a clearly concerted effort to increase their
already overwhelming market dominance. I will not personally involve
myself again as a willing contributor in any process that presumes
decency, honesty, or simple forthright behavior from that member.
good luck.
