You have inverted your grep command. 
It IS the unqualified continuation of my details (name and email address) in 
History that I object to, but thanks for taking the time to look into it.

Regards your other observations, yes anyone could have done a better job, 
barring an unforeseen labotomy or mental breakdown. But why would I want to 
lead a community that apparently didn't care when a high-profile community 
member turned out to be an incompetent, irrational, <insert dictionary of 
adjectives here> tyrant ? Instead of taking over, writing the unwanted 
constitution [1], performing cancer surgery on the project infrastructure and 
unilaterally changing an uncaring community to follow some open source 
principles, I left. 

Lacking that constitution, I contributed in the spirit of the social 
contract and composed myself professionally, communicating and discussing all
problems. The community can continue in whatever fashion it now wants, but by 
not dealing with all the problems mentioned the project has not lived up to 
the advertisement of that social contract, and all my work under that pretext 
now needs to be qualified. 

See you in a few days for the regular request.

NOTE: If this arrives multiple times, twice from my regular address and once 
from this new address (setup to monitor this list), apologies from me, but 
blame a twelve hour delay with ibiblio's servers.
