[quote] Me : And shall we use this thread to quietly adress these questions, so I can hear your views, you can hear mine, and we can call it quits? I'd be glad to. Tao : Yes I would like links to you apologising publicly for misleading everyone here. [/quote] Permission had been granted by Tao for an explanation - so what thread hijacking are you talking about? Further down the road : [quote] Me : Opinion(s)? Everyone's opinion is welcome, but please preserve mutual respect at least for this thread - as much as possible. I sincerely am doing my best.

You seem genuine, but as I said a while ago I was utterly busy doing ten gazillion of things at the same time lately, so "I know you can do better" as a moto, in webdesign terms - rather than business development terms, was impossible to handle for me. I am doing the BEST possible professional achievement for an individual, and it costs me weeks around the clock. Undermining that because of LI... that's where active listening matters. The same applies to WS jumping on the "thread hijack" bandwagon : that thread hijack occured in his mind, not in the orange cells were someone said "can I?" and the thread starter replied "you can".
