It's time for the rest of the group can get some work done. I've stated before that core was by no means unanimous about the "solution" to the problems we've been having. I've been much more in favour of seeing your viewpoint. It'll all be in the February core report, which is due to come out Real Soon Now. But I'd like to make it clear that I am 100% in agreement with phk and dg on this present issue. Quite honestly, despite your undoubted technical wizardry, I think that if you can't come to terms with the other team players, you should find something to do which doesn't require interfacing with them. I'd prefer that you did find a way of working in a team structure where you're not the boss, though.
