I can handle being pissed once in a while ;) . And I've never doubted
your intentions towards the project. It's just that it's sometimes hard
to communicate with you in a constructive way.

Why do you think so? I think your efforts aren't wasted at all. I think
the project has moved quite a bit forward in the last year, partially
thanks to your efforts. It's just that if you work together with a bunch
of people in an anarchistic project like mc you have to learn to deal
with your expectations. This is as true for you as it is for me.

I'm not sure if it makes any difference if I'd ask you to stay on board
or that I would achieve just the opposite but all I can say is please
do.
