  How interestingly arrogant of you William.  I am sure some find this relevant,
but I am not sure if that is a majority.  Given that if a majority is not known,
I wonder just how relevant this preamble to your comments here are
relevant.

  But I digress further...  (See more below William's further comments)

  What is your documented evidence of this statement at this juncture here
William?   Can you produce that for us here?  If not, why not take a vote
on this before making such a outlandish statement?  For instance, we [INEGRoup]
have yet to officially respond to this proposal that Harald has presented.

  As is you right.  But this is YOUR opinion.  It certainly is not a FACT,
now is it?

  This is not correct, as you well know William.

  Responsible is fine.  A variation of Roberts Rules of Order for online
participation such as Mark suggested may be how that should be determined.
Blankett false statements are not or should not be.

  Nice smear attempt of myself or Joe Baptista, but unfortunately not
very convincing as is already evident.
