You evidently feel personally attacked (which is unfortunate yet understandable) while this group is wary of possibly being snookered by an anonymous, AI-powered bot (also understandable). I would like to ask whether there is a way to accommodate your desire to remain anonymous (at least for now) and the group's desire for meaningful disclosure. I think there is. For example: List member Michael Wilson, who describes himself as a retired systems developer, has expressed an interest in your project (see https://xywrite.org/mail/msg43978.html). Assuming that Michael is willing--and I'm sending him a blind copy of this post in the hope that we will hear from him--you might give him a look at what you have accomplished so far, on such terms as you and he may agree, with the understanding that he could then report his impressions back to the list. We could then discuss what further steps, if any, might be appropriate. Does this, or some variant of it, sound doable? -- Carl Distefano cld@xxxxxxxxxx
