Thank you Jim, for your compelling argument! Based on the weight of Jim's
opinion, I hereby call for the immediate shutdown of AccessD, on grounds of
irrelevance!

The list sure does have a short memory! Nothing personal intended. You're
not part of the problem.

OK, I've been waiting for this. This one's rich.

Let's go down a little timeline. Last year when this topic came up:

* Septav complains
* Group tells Septav to piss off
* I feel that is unfair
* The group has its first real discussion of relevance in over a year
* The group gets flustered
* The group:
  > Puts the thread into the 'discussion forum of no return'
  > Invites the participation of all in discussing the future of the forum
  > I dutifully put in my written response.

What then, from the vaunted group?
  > Nothing
  > Nada
  > Silence

I bugged a few people on the list a few times on the status, but gave up
once it became obvious what happened.

I got stonewalled.

So the group, when confronted with real criticism, walls off and silences
dissent.

Tell me this is not the case, but back it up with proof.

The onus, in my opinion, is still on the group.

On you, Colby. (dramatic soap opera music)
