For all your claims, you advanced RTT as a master format and are now storming off when it didn't get accepted as the master format.

Please do not think I am "storming off". I had a plan that I thought might work. I did the reconnaissance. The plan had a fatal flaw that could not be mitigated. The people that I would need buy-in from didn't buy the core principal that you could have a foundation without specifying a master format. Everyone _wanted_ a master format; so much so, indeed, that they immediately assumed what I was trying to sell must de facto _be_ a master format, and a poor one at that. I am not Bowerbird. I don't think I have all the answers, I don't think that I am always right, I don't think I can insult people into consensus and I don't think that running a solo project and trying to show everyone how clever I am achieves anything whatsoever of consequence, particularly when that solo project isn't actually very impressive. I have listened to what everyone has said and my conclusion is that the problems with the PG library cannot be solved in the way that I suggested they might be. I now have an good understanding of why that is, so I can happily move on to something more productive. Cheers Jon
