Jim, A simple "stay" or "leave" answer, was all I was asking for. Others have managed to do that professionally. If the way you characterize the XBL thread below is correct, then I think you are guilty of the same problem with this public post. I am available it private if you want to advise me about my "mental and emotional stability". Have you not read the thread I posted 1 hour ago, Shelby's Final Position Paper on XBL, which I think is very concise? I will removing myself from this (unprofessional) list soon.
