I really don't have a conscience about this, I am quite happy to keep 
regularly posting. 
To keep bringing up the same problems and making the same request over and 
over again will probably damage the smgl morale, turn away new users and new 
developers though. My one compromise would be to allow all my name and email 
entries to be changed to foo@sourcemage and then to have a wiki or web page 
explain that I am foo and why I left. 
Anything less than that wouldn't be acceptable and would cause me to continue 
sending the same request.
