Has anyone communicated directly with Laura Walker or Karl
Best about this? I've found them to be very reasonable and helpful people
in my occasional dealings with them ... what's the OASIS side of the
story? Real disagreement? Maybe we could help set them straight about the
invaluable role that Peter Murray-Rust has played in the past beyond just
giving the list a home .... Or do they just need to be "pinged" to get engaged
in the discussion?
