Did you ever receive any reply? What did he say?
Vassillis asked me to post his information to here. I declined to do that, and replied he should post it himself, which he has now done.
There is an entire body of discussion and debate on this topic both in this forum and elsewhere, and I have nothing specific to add. I was not part of any of the past decisions or discussions.
I am focused on working on our new website and continuing to push the project forward with those who are willing to work together.
