If that's how you need to have it handled in the future, then that's fine by me. I was hoping to have all such issues in the future filtered through a small group of people who are able to act in an appropriate and business-like fashion. The sort of flying around (nowhere near the handle, so to speak) that happened in the last couple of days is just a PR disaster waiting to happen and frankly, neither of us needs it. Even my earlier proposal, which I thought was fair and businesslike, generated an extremely abusive response (thankfully in private) and we just don't need that sort of thing anymore...
