My apology again to Jose.

Then my judgment was correct. There was no project manager. When a
discussion went wild, nobody had the willingness , nor authority to
confront anyone and cool things off. In a topic as complicated as
embedding, nobody was obliged to provide an independent evaluation
when such an evaluation was desperately needed.

I was not talking about expressing some opinions on a particular
issue, many of you have done just that. I was talking about an
evaluation of the whole case. The biggest problem here is that
everyone liked or disliked something (session, zip or base64, global
or individual embedding, visible or invisible embedded files) but very
few people, if any, realized that these are related issues in a
complicated feature. If something you like costs too much, compromises
have to be made. Richard had certainly failed to see this and that was
one of the reasons why our communications were so difficult.

Anyway, if this is the way things should be, I can live with it. I
will not start the embedding discussion, or any new feature, unless
someone else has seen the whole picture.

Cheers,
Bo
