I saw nowhere where he proposed a project fork. The way I read it, he was suggesting that we take a look at what axon did to see what can be adapted to the current version of SME. Perfectly sensible idea to me. I'm going to add my voice (one time only) to this growing problem of the way that both you and Darrell get along - *both* of you seem to snipe at each other wherever you see the opportunity. I have no idea of the circumstances surrounding your argument with Darrell, nor the cause of E-smith (at the time) terminating the partner agreement with Darrell, nor do I wish to become involved in a discussion (=flame war) on the issue. What I *will* say is that both your attitudes are detrimental to the further development of SME as (IMO) the best server/gateway solution for those of us that do not understand Linux as well as others. I beg both of you to *please* take a step back and try not to shoot barbs at each other. Darrell does a *hell* of a lot of good work on SME which I am very grateful for. You (and the rest of the Mitel team) do a great job of trying to work out issues that are intelligently reported to you, even when they're the result of operator idiocy. Of course people's priorities are going to be different, and people have different ways of dealing with these differences. All I'm saying is that baiting (and sometimes, outright abusing) each other gets nobody anywhere. Rant off. I've said my bit, and it's now up to both of you to decide what to do.
