Re: SV: BP has a new owner

Mike,

I apologize for my partial mistatement.  While I truly did not
remember the exact sequence of events, the BP management record indeed
shows that I had in fact made you co-owner on Aug. 8, 2003 up until
March 2004 (not a "couple of years").  What I reacted to was the
implication that I had given up ownership which wasn't true.  I have
always admired your vast knowledge about multipointing but I have to
admit that I have been genuinely upset over the past several years
about the rift in the group's membership which I believe was caused by
your continued insistence that multipointing was the dominant focus of
the group.  This insistence, I believe, resulted in the alienation of
many members who were primarily interested in boundary issues.  I
regret that due to your many contributions as well as our common
history, I had refrained for so long in taking stronger action against
the polarization of the group.  And for the record...my "not speaking"
was not directed to you individually, but was a reflection of my
conscious decision to manage the group in the background.  At any
rate, the complete transfer of group ownership is because of my
realization that BP needs a new direction which will unite rather than
alienate members.

This is all I have to say about this subject.  Mike, I continue to
value our common history as well as to respect your knowledge and
technical contributions.

And I'm sorry about the ribs...!

Bill
