Karl, you are sounding more and more like a kid who just paid a zillion
dollars for a new baseball mitt and doesn't want anybody else to play ball
unless they buy the same mitt.
You may be correct in some of your comments, and you might be wrong. But,
there is one thing for certain:
You do not speak for the CIX
What we need here is someone (Washburn? the CIX Board?) to speak officially
about these, and other issues. I for one, and I think others here, would
like the CIX to tell us their official view.
I believe it was Ittai who said he asked CIX months ago for answers. Well?
What is the CIX's view of this?
Who are the members of the CIX Board? Perhaps we can ask them directly...
When and where is the next board or members' meeting, perhaps we can ask
them there...
