It's hard to express this without sounding myself as if I'm being slightly disrespectful, for which I apologise to Kavouss in advance. However it seems to me that all his shrill complaints are simply straight out of one of the chapters in Negotiation and International Diplomacy 101 amd we shouldn't take them to heart, just like a pre-flop bet in Texas Hold 'Em. As I've said before, I always feel it is a pleasure to watch how the game is played in the majors. Nigel PS: I do think that Greg is not being unfair, merely attempting to promote collegiality, which is a noble aim. If we all considered the question "how can we work together" rather than the "I want" then I believe progress will be enhanced.
In particular, I want to publicly defend Greg against any claim that he is “not acting properly” or that his behavior is either “unprecedented” or “unacceptable” or “unfair.”
