My own special brand of miscommunication was also involved. I happen to be sensitive to the perception that I yield any authority that I might have (as an RMT member, as a committer, whatever) in a way that is arbitrary or unfair. And so I wrote way too much about why that wasn't actually the case here. I now realize that that wasn't really relevant. > I never though that.

That might well have happened if we had been set up for it already. > I'd like to apologize for not answering your email the way I should > have. Honestly it never occurred to me.

I think that there was a snowballing effect here. We both made mistakes that compounded. I apologize for my role in this whole mess. -- Peter Geoghegan
