I am not a member of the board -- and, just to be clear, I never have
been! I and others were trying to get in touch with you about a problem
with your account; it is regrettable that at this point other events seem
to have progressed to the point that the effort has been rendered redundant
and useless (due to the developer agreement issue, where unless I misread
the above I guess your position is now in fact crystal clear). But, darn
it, we were trying to contact you to solve a sysadmin problem; I wish you
would have responded!
