<p>I remember Jeff McKenna once saying that he sometimes takes a
step back from the keyboard for a day or so before responding, and
being much kinder and wiser as a consequence (my memory of Jeff's
words). I can think of a few emails Jeff sent where I think he
did just that - his excellent email describing his reasons for
wanting to join the current OSGeo board comes to mind.</p>
<p>Confrontational tit-for-tat conversation is uncomfortable and if
we take it too far, we will find that productive members of our
community will start silently dropping off.</p></div></blockquote></body></html>
