I request that this review NOT be counted as part of the review decision for these reasons:
Hi Niall, I always felt that it was a positive sign of health in any online community when strongly opinionated people are free to voice their thoughts. This is why, even if I may disagree with some of your opinions, I would think "the Boost forums are yet alive" when you would speak openly about what you think Boost leadership should do. As someone who has been following the AFIO review, I have to say, this is the one instance where I was surprised by your attitude. I expected you to reply to Harmut's e-mails, and not ignore them. You've no doubt had to defend at least one thesis in your lifetime before a committee. Even if you think a member of that committee is unjustly attacking points in your work, you hold your head up high, respond, and let it not get personal. By not doing that and by your assertions in your mail above it appears to everyone that you're the one who has chosen to make things personal... Glen
