But it is not being followed. That's the point.

I am not allowed. Bruce has made this clear. Any work I do will be rejected. I've
stated this in my call for removal. You should have read it in it's enirty before
responding.

I'm not interested in arguing about this...we been throught this all before.
I haven't put forth my opinons on how *I* feel the project should be run, only what
the *Bruce* has done and is doing. If you feel I've been dishonest, then say so.
I'll be more then happy to repost Bruces own words on these topics (the censoring
you can see for yourself as I'm sure this email account will be digested within the
day.)
If you and the majority of the project think these things are A-OK then I am gone.
Just please make it clear to everyone else involved where everything really
stands, and stop the misrepesentation and excuses.
