I am sorry, Manuel, but with all my respect to you - I personally see this thread as your personal disagreement with the project's management based on the experience you had. And, I'd like to stop it at this very point.

Well-put, Maxim. If interested, you should also take a look at earlier post from around 1999 or 2000, where I was actually naive enough to back Mr Lemos when he was fighting Rasmus for CVS access. Surprisingly (or not), the dirt he was throwing at him was remarkably similar to the dirt he is now throwing at me. Of course, Rasmus didn't have a commercial venture, but the dictatorship accusations were pretty much identical. If I'm not mistaken, I'm to blame for the fact Manuel has CVS access in the first place, which almost outweighs all the good things I've done for PHP :( By the way, yes, I was the one who removed Mr Lemos's access to lists.php.net, as a service to the php-dev community. As it was done without enough prior discussion (only discussion on an online forum, instead of a discussion on the PHP Group forum), it was later discontinued, not before Mr Lemos assured us that he's going to disappear from php-dev from his own 'free' will. I do not regret removing Mr Lemos's access at all - as you can probably tell now, he's wasting hours and hours of otherwise productive time; I do regret not passing this decision through the proper channels prior to executing it, because then it would have stayed, whereas now, we still have to suffer from his abusive thread hijacks.
