Hey all,

At this point, after talking things over with Hans and Alan in IRC, we think 
it's best if this thread is closed. It is getting no where productive very 
fast, regardless of who is the cause of this. Sean has his mentor and will be 
reporting his progress on the mailing list (might I also suggest documenting 
it in a wordpress.com or blogger.com blog?); at this point, the rest of this 
thread should not dissolve into argument or name calling from -anyone,- 
whether it is Sean or Lisa or Craig or -anyone else- on the plug-discuss 
mailing lists.

Sean has made his interest in learning about GNU/Linux and moving his business 
from a completely Microsoft environment into an integrated environment 
completely clear in past posts to the list. As a result of this thread, even 
after receiving the help he requested, he is considering (or has) unsubscribed 
from the mailing list. This is _not_ the kind of message we want to send to 
newer Phoenix LUG members.

I have no time for a full analysis of this situation, only enough to see that 
this thread is doing nothing productive and only making _everyone_ involved 
look fairly silly. As a result, we (Hans and I) are asking that this thread be 
closed. Please don't reply to this message or any others in this thread. 

Note, the "Project Update" thread is not under moderation at this time. :-)

Thanks and best,
Ryan
