Right and you picked it up as your paid job until you were moved to another
project within Sun. Since you have been so forward today, would you also
like to expand on why you were switched over to an XML project internally?

I'm not convinced of that yet given that you have been the one doing the
majority of the commits and development work. (No offense to Larry or
Nacho).

It isn't necessarily code that is the issue here. In case you missed it, I'm
the contact point for all Jakarta related email.

<http://www.apache.org/foundation/preFAQ.html>

I get a fairly substantial amount of support email as a result of that as
well as other sources. I'm happy to do the job, but I'm also going to do
what I can to reduce the amount of work I have to do. Something about the
number of hours in a day...

You say that now. However, would you have said that before I started this
mess? I don't think so. That was not the direction you were moving in and
your commits clearly didn't show that as you did start work on it and were
asked to stop...

How should I respond to this, with a comment about your mother or something?
