	Appearances can be deceiving.  Just because people did not do what
you wanted them to do or expected them to do does not mean that they are
bad or mean or trying to harm you or undermine your efforts.  Have you
ever heard of the concepts of business confidential information and
bureaucracy?

	A lot of people expended a great deal of effort to get IBM to
release this work for the benefit of the entire community.  I find it sad
that you and Peter choose to respond by complaining in what I consider an
unconstructive and defensive manner.  There always is room for
improvement, but that's life.  Why not try to appreciate what has been
provided and look forward to what will come in the future?

	Then stop self-righteously pointing your finger at everyone else
and try some introspection.

Sincerely,
David
