Hi Jon

I'm seriously concerned that Danny still hasn't responded to any of my
correspondence but continues to "go his own way" leaving me trying to pick
up the pieces.

> Danny replied to me privately, and I've responded to him.  I'm hopeful
> that something will come of it.

That's not a good sign.  You at least must see that.  It leaves me in a
tense situation waiting for Danny's next authoritarian move.  What I asked
Danny was exactly NOT to do that i.e. not make "decisions" without
consulting me.  How can he possibly expect me to co-operate with him if he
continues to behave as if he was the grand "pooh bah" of GA.

Look more carefully at my emails and you will see they started of reasonable
and courteous but became more and more demanding as Danny failed to respond.
I cannot think what further surprises Danny has in store for me.  The
tension is palpable.

The most constructive thing he can do for me at the moment is to respond to
Joanna's "attack" on my email about GA-REVIEW.  He won't do that as Joanna
is his friend.  In fact the whole game is rigged with Eric Dierker, Sotiris,
Joanna and Danny playing a little game between them.  I have no idea what's
behind it all but know it's something to do with the WG-REVIEW.  Note that
Joanna refused to answer any of my questions.

She then criticises me for not knowing what's going on.  How can I possibly
know what's going on unless Danny (or somebody) tells me?  Do I have to
trawl through 3328 emails to find out.  I will if I have to but I will never
forgive Danny if he makes me do that.

Danny sees what I'm saying as a threat.  That's true.  What else can I do?
Appeal to him nicely?  Been there, done that.  So the threat is that unless
Danny consults with me I will attack him on list.  We will spend the next
month arguing about the WG-REVIEW.

All I am asking is to be kept properly informed.  Preferably consulted.

Meanwhile he should simply respond to my questions about *his* list.  In the
process he should answer the questions I put.  Simply, clearly and on the GA
list where I put them.  They were carefully worded and sensible.  Note how
nobody wants to be a sublist Chair.  Doesn't Danny understand that I can't
make all of the lists "work" on my own?  We need a co-operative team to do
that.

Believe me, Jon, the pot is being stirred already.  Three or four very
difficult people are making comments (publicly or privately) namely Jefsey
Morfin, Joanna Lane, Eric Dierker and William X. Walsh.  Others will start
once the ball gets rolling.

If I respond to Joanna the spark will turn into a flame war that will
destroy Danny.  She's a dangerrous opponent.  That's my point.  Nobody seems
to care about getting any work done.  They all have their own little beef.
Well I've tried to be constructive in the face of attack for months now.
I'm tired of playing that game.

I suggested 24 hours.  When is Danny going to respond?

Best regards
Patrick Corliss
