Until this day, I have not been interested in history, there is no point at pointing fingers and place blame. I have a long list of people (myself, Stephen, you Stefano, and *many* others) who have their fair share of blame in the Avalon 'disaster'. Don't point fingers at others without pointing at your own nose first, is my motto. > Tell me: what would *you* do in my shoes? Well, that is a highly hypothetical question, isn't it? I am not the master creator of communities, who take pride in stepping away when he thinks he is an obstacle to the community, yet steps back in and with 'determination' sets 'half paralyzed' projects back on track. YOU are really good at it, so what would I know of what to do in this situation? I am a simple man, who likes to chitchat over a beer in an Irish Pub, or as a poor man's substitute for airtickets, ICQ, and would probably spend more time with people at a social level, accepting that all are not equal and not expecting big changes from them, than re-iteration of rhetoric. Even people I don't like can teach me something positive. And often people I don't like at first (like my wife) can be much more genuine than first impression, or what is expressed in fruitless debates and flamefests. What would I do? Perhaps provide some better guidance of how to make things better and less critique of what's wrong? But then I again, I am not in your shoes, and most likely never will be.
