A very recent example, it took Ian a long time to get back to the arguments with regard to the DFSG2. This really made a mess of the discussion. > I don't think your comment above is fair.

He kinda seems to drop in at the end of them responding to the first messages. I realize he's a busy guy and I am not trying to be unfair to him, but I really believe he hasn't had the time I believe is necessary to devote to the project. I hope Ian isn't offended by this and I really didn't want to get into discussing it at length. I'm not trying to say Ian is a bad leader, only that he just doesn't seem to have enough hours in the day to be the best leader he could be. -- "You're despicable." -- Daffy Duck
