Last word, in case the inference is unclear. We're dealing with a sophisticated serial infringer on Wikipedia. Correcting erroneous information, which is proper to do, is unlikely to be achieved via an edit war. Don't bring a knife to a gunfight. Any progress would only be made by showing Mr. Gerard's own conflict and his bad will (not hard to do), and escalating it within the the formal Wikipedia appeals process, patiently dealing with the ministerial types to whom bureaucratic process is dear. Since Dennis does not want to discuss this on the list, feel free to contact me offline if anyone wishes to discuss this further. -Rob > -Rob > >> - Dennis >> >> [ ... ] >> >> >> --------------------------------------------------------------------- >> To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@openoffice.apache.org >> For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@openoffice.apache.org >> --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@openoffice.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@openoffice.apache.org
