I agree with Philip. From what I can tell, this thread has from the
beginning been rather vague about what it's trying to accomplish.
Seems like a we have a public conversation that should've been
private, and without any context attached which means it's just noise
to those of us who are not in the know.

It is obvious that there are some disagreements here, but I can think
of several productive ways to handle them and this thread is not one
of them.
