>Don't expect a reply from Whil. Although he is very capable in this respect, the last time (when he withdrew) he has proven that he can remain deaf to requests to reply. We (me too) went to great lenghts criticizing his arguments and waiting for his replies, that never came. I guess he is very proud about the 'self-control' that he showed, but to me it was a very unsportive, arrogant act.

It's his prerogative not to go into endless discussions and one should respect his choice imo
