The discussion on LinkedIn was veering off-topic and so I offered to call you and discuss. Many of the things you are accusing me of are not correct. The LinkedIn forum is indeed moderated. This is the first time I have ever considered it appropriate to moderate a discussion. For the record: > John started a discussion topic about eCosCentric and whether eCosPro > is a fork of eCos In fact, I have responded to a direct question from you.

Liam, I cannot see how you can possibly infer that. I know for a fact, that eCosCentric does not consider eCosPro to be a fork. If you want to discuss whether eCosPro is a fork of eCos or not in a public forum, go right ahead. But please don't put words into my mouth. If you want to discuss why I think it is good to provide a networking forum for professional users of the free and open source eCos RTOS, let's arrange to talk.
