Luke,Sorry, I have been upfront since the start about the requirements. I have not misled anyone. But you have continued to ignore those requirements, instead pushing your own design, which does not work on several fronts.
And I hope you don't continue to demand consulting fees for Debian email list support. There are thousands of people on this and other Debian lists who provide answers to questions without being mercenary about it. And they do it without asking if this is a personal or work-related question.
Yes, my client can read this thread; in fact they know this is one of the places I'm looking. I was very up front with them about the difficulty in meeting their requirements, and would be looking for advice other places. I have nothing to hide here.
But you should also remember that your employer and/or clients can also use Google and find your posts in this thread. The same with those who are considering your new standard.
