On the contrary. I have been ignoring any 'social' aspects
and been quite blunt lately. Not only in this thread but in
others as well. Not because I enjoy acting like that - and I
like the people I know here too much to be nasty to them - but
because IMHO the technical issues should not be obscured by
the social ones.
But we can agree to disagree. For me there have been (and there
still are) a number of Jack related issues such that if I look
at the complete picture the conclusion is that it would be a
good thing to start thinking about something that at some time
could become Jack N (N > 2) and that would include some radical
changes.
