Russ, I've already explained to you that after writing Michael, I got
essentially a repeat of a form letter back from Laura. Thus, I was
convinced my communications were getting the /dev/null treatement. The
next logical step is to take the matter before an open group, and
license-discuss is the only one OSI has.

Do you really feel it's appropriate to make ad-hominem attacks from your
position on the OSI board? You send a message that you abhor me becuase
I brought the discussion to an open, public forum. Abhorence of people
who use open, public forums doesn't fit well in a group that's supposed
to make decisions for Open Source licensing.

Earlier, you answered me with a suggestion to read a Philipe Bastiat
libertarian political rant.

Something just doesn't seem right here. Are you appropriately fulfilling
your role as an OSI director?
