Apologies Brian, I sent a private email to Bryan, who for reasons of his own decided to reply to the mailing list and make it public. If the conversation is to continue, I will keep it off list, hopefully Bryan will respect that.

Brian,

I have read all the messages that have come across the mailing list, and so far I find it all to be valuable discourse. There seems to be a fear of debate and differing opinion in our culture and it's not healthy for democracy or our little group here. Criticism is uncomfortable, but how can we improve without it? I would like to see the discussion continue. I hope everyone involved has thick enough skin to continue presenting their arguments until we reach a consensus.
