 christian, with respect, i invite you to consider some things.

 is it okay if i point out people's assumptions about me, which could
 be viewed as either misguided, misinformed or as personal attack?

 is it okay if i use this bugtracker to give people the benefit of the
 doubt and an opportunity to correct any mistaken impressions?

 i am endeavouring to get this discussion onto technical issues, and
 i am keenly aware that there seems to be a high percentage of people
 willing to talk rather than act in a way that moves this technical
 issue forward.

 my technical contributions and technical questions remain unanswered.

 how should i react?

 in good faith, i ask you genuinely to advise me how i should react to that.

 i'm sorry that you feel that it is okay for people to use this bugtracker
 to make assumptions and non-technical contributions, but that it is not
 okay for me to point that out.

 i also apologise for having to take so much of everyone's time apologising
 and for taking up peoples' time having to deal with incorrect assumptions
 and more.

 i welcome advice from people on ways to move this technical issue forward,
 as well as contributions to the technical issues at hand.


 so.

 xan.  christian.  gustavo.  mark.  dave.  your agreement is sought to keep
 discussions here related to a minimum - of technical discussions and issues,
 with _mutual_ respect and due consideration for all contributions.

 i trust that this meets with your approval and your agreement.
