I've asked Agoracom for a suspension mode as a step prior to banning.

I understand your position MOMG, but the board is evenly split and my intent was just to give him a little time to cool off. I asked them early this week to reinstate him on Wednesday, but they have been busy and will get it done soon.

I would ask that everyone keep posting welcome or go away messages, wheverever they stand, on the OT board so we can try to discuss news on the discussion forum.

I have asked EZ not to cut into every conversation on the board and he will be subject to further measures if he cannot comply. However, I have tried hard to let both positive and negative discussions occur between legitimate board members all the way on the spectrum from EZ to Cividale, and I think that is about the end of the spectrum on the obvious ends.

Thanks to all for being understanding during the difficult process of attempting to keep some level of order and civility on the board during the stressful time of the holidays and further missed deadlines.

I would again encourage all members to directly contact Bob Fung and Richard Marshall to gripe about what the company is or is not doing, as that direct contact is far more meaningful than preaching to the choir here. Posts about their responses to phone or email contacts is relevant to the whole board and is encouraged in the event that some don't want to call or write.

Thanks again
