Take your personal arguing outside this mailing list. We don't turn back people doing good work but we expect them to know how to behave, but I am not going to take a stance how this applies here at this point and it's more of devrel's thing any way. I wonder if this thread would have been like this if deadline was called timetable in the original mail. I asked for access to PMS and got it so I don't see any problem it being in any way too secret. Regards, Petteri
