Les > Mikesell is not involved with livna afaik (or did I miss anything > here?). He isn't?... My mistake then. Honestly, I really thought he was. I was left with that perception anyway. If he isn't representing Livna, then I have no need to withdraw an offer to participate. I, like many, work a regular job beyond "The Community" and peruse hundreds of e-mails per day (much from these lists) and admittedly don't have a lot of patience for circular arguments. I really do want to help and want to be reasonable, but I do want to make real progress. I'll switch over to the dedicated Livna channels and work on moving forward from there.
