Well exactly as promised. I hope people are happy. However now people have got the power they asked for, it is up to them to make the running with it. My role is now more of an observer and to maintain the sources and standards and printed documentation. What people do with Shen, where they take it, is now in the hands of the Shenturians. This means to a degree that people have to define and solve their own problems. My path resumes from where I left it when I returned from the edge of the Himalayas to build Shen.
Side note: no idea why at least two people would down vote all your contributions to this discussion....
ADDED: Just got back an email from Taver WRT to my refund request, denying the "it's modified BSD" claim, and a not unreasonable in the context of our communications, especially since I'd already decided to do it, request to "go away forever" (well, unless a flourishing Shen community develops within the next few years).
Perhaps my "with fire and sword" style stuck a nerve; my #1 and calmly stated point that this negated the whole premise of the campaign was quoted by at least one other person on the mailing list.
The down votes of my comments are in all likelihood not connected to the content of this discussion.
In the last couple of months, I made some unpopular comments on HN and since then have seen all of my comments, no matter the subject, receive a downvote or two some time during the wee hours (in US timezones). The intent is, obviously, to discourage my participation on HN in the face of steady karma loss. I am not discouraged, and in time perhaps my karma-detractors will tire of their little game.
Changing over your routine (or script) to the time/s of day when I'm active (or US participants are generally active) is clever... but not that clever ;-)
