Alex. Agreed. An omission on my part and indeed everyone should be copied. For the record, I am keen to know what you were told, but hold the view that the spirit of this discussion is about how to develop a certain class of IT enterrpise. A discussion whose time has come.

Paul,

I prefer public responses to public discussions to remain as such, maintaining the same spheres of intended audiences i.e. as policy opposed to the practice of public responses in certain tones 'compensated' through private messages in a different tone, unless the parties publicly agreed to take their conversation off list.

Don't mean to be dismissive. On the contrary, I am curious as anyone else on this.

While that is going on, we must keep our eyes on the wider issues that merit the discussions we have been undertaking.

Asante.

As for the #140Friday debate, if you care to share what you heard, I'd be happy to understand what the conspiracy was about. It would not change the substantive arguments in any way.

I notice you forgot to include my message on the same on this forward. But as stated, received that information in confidence therefore not at liberty to share. Curious you immediately dismiss it as "consipracy" so quickly? Shouldn't we be patient and wait to see how that one unfolds?

regards,
