@David: 

could you please try to communicate a little bit more sensibly here. 

Though I for myself do really not know the solutions of the factual 
issues (if to put Litmus/Alfresco on the first page or not) as I'm not 
involved in product marketing at all, I beg you to please concentrate 
on the factual level of the discussion and not to fight your personal 
struggle against Sophie with pseudo-factual reasonning but with such an 
aggressive undertone in your mails.

If you feel offended by Sophies mails, be assured that I can pretty 
understand that this could happen as her way to write may sometimes 
sound somewhat harsh or crude if a person does not know the background.

But ...

We are a community of volunteers who primarily want to be productive and 
prefer a collaborative style of communication, not a concurrent. At 
least not personally concurrent, certain facts or decisions certainly 
do force controversary discussions from time to time.

So I beg you to re-read Sophie's mails and to look at the factual 
purpose first and try to overlook the - putativly crude - undertone. 
Just try to concentrate on /what/ she says and not on /how/ it sounds.

Once again: It's about the result, not the persons.

If you know the four sides communication model[1], try to concentrate on 
the factual matter layer and not on the relationship layer. 

I know that for a male this can be a hard task, but I'm confident you 
will master it ;-)


@all: 

Please bear with me intervening in such situations but I simply (once 
again) could not hold my tongue. (SCNR)
