since your background is in psychology I share with you this observation : My biggest reservation about the eTech guys in this circumstance is that they do not seem to understand their own best interest. That makes their behavior unpredictable and that bothers me.
Given your interest and faith in the project, your long track record as being a positive contributor and booster of projects you find worthwhle ( I wonder what Promatrix woud have been without you, for example ) and your profile in the community that should be their target audience, to just blow you off seems dull-witted at best.
Oh well.
Hey, come on over to Strataframe, if only for a visit. Les Pinter's there, some guys you know from Promatrix, and old guys like me and Steve Taylor. <g> They have a pretty balanced approach regarding steak over sizzle and a nice community of developers.
( forgive me if we've discussed this and I've just forgotten but have you looked into the data handling stuff in SF or at their Enterprise Server? )

Though a good deal is too strange to be believed, nothing is too strange to have happened.
- Thomas Hardy
Half the harm that is done in this world is due to people who want to feel important. They don't mean to do harm-- but the harm does not interest them. Or they do not see it, or they justify it because they are absorbed in the endless struggle to think well of themselves.
-- T. S. Eliot
Democracy is two wolves and a sheep voting on what to have for lunch.
Liberty is a well-armed sheep contesting the vote.

Pardon him, Theodotus. He is a barbarian, and thinks that the customs of his tribe and island are the laws of nature.
