But he won't answer my questions. He won't explain why he removed me
from the LSM. He won't answer Zeyd's mail either. He refused to withdraw
his rogue release when Zeyd asked him to. And he refuses to explain his
behavior.

He has also tried to make trouble for me over at Sunsite. Fortunately
Erik Troan saw through that and copied me on it.

You're damned straight it's unfriendly. I'm extremely angry about his
behavior; I consider it arrogant, underhanded, and inexcusable. And
if he doesn't change his behavior, I'm going to do a lot more to spike
his guns.

When he took my name off the LSM without asking me, he made it personal.

That'a exactly my point. He's *not* cooperating with me, he's *not*
cooperating with Zeyd. He's expecting us to just live with whatever
he decides. No explanation, no communication, nothing.

I'd be happy to. But Thomas has to at least explain himself first.
