And anyone else who cares to listen... (Please drag everyone over to read this if you think I'm doing any better than usual )

We are suffering from a crisis of conscience and faith here (me included )
The choices we have:

1. Beat DPC @ any cost, even the effective dissolution of the XS team. I'm seeing Rods view that we sorta lose our soul then, even if we make DPC 2nd. OTOH we get past the frustration of watching apparent (since we have no absolute proof) evil intention, however much we believe.

2. Get / keep together and keep D2OLing with faith that something will be done to allow confirmation/identification or disallow completion of invalid / massively redundant data. The timeframe for this is uncertain @ best.

3a. Drop D2OL altogether now but keeping XS points in XS and keeping most of our XS soul, but acknowledging the real possibility of the failure of the D2OL project and leaving ourselves open to being called quitters. Which leads to...

3b. What do we all decide to do next?

Deciding which of these directions to focus on comes down to a personal decision whether D2OL is a valid fight or a futile and useless one. The data we question is not bad, just possibly redundant. We have vengence and competition vs. project integrity and our level of commitment to the XS name. Each of us has to decide where we stand in our hearts and minds.

I've tried to follow what is happening and I think the s have won in this in that they have divided us and made us lose our focus. We know what both sides think and we just have to decide who to follow. It is time to think for a moment, then do whatever we think is both right and relavent

I've also tried to expose the main elements of this this division and I hope that this will help you each best understand them and in turn your feelings relating to them.

I am thinking that I just want to keep going where we are and see where the path we started leads for abit further. (D2OL under XS)

Let me know what you think, just like before. Then we can go from there. Together I hope
