I would assume this to be the case as well. I can assure you that David
Dawes and I are, in fact, to separate people, with sometimes RADICALLY
different opinions :->.

As to equating inactivity with disinterest, those are two different issues,
also. While I may be inactive, to anyone following this forum, it should be
clear that I am not disinterested.

Whether I remain on the Core Team is something for the Core Team and I to
decide. I agree that my inactivity probably disqualifies me, but I like to
lurk, and while I may be inactive, it is still somewhat "my baby" and hard
to let go of. If the Core Team feels I should leave, then I will; I'm not
there to cause problems or incite issues...

As to my being on the BOD and remaining on the BOD, many, if not most,
corporations have outside directors, who are inactive but not disinterested,
and I will remain on the BOD until I'm voted off, asked to resign, or the
corporation ceases to exist.

As for defending XFree86 and my friends, I'll be out doing that whether I'm
on the Core Team, BOD, or none of the above...

Speaking for myself (yadda, yadda, yadda)...
