<p>I do differ markedly from Jonathan Fine. I have accepted his
resignation. <br>
</p>
<p> I am quoted out of context, as usual. My remark was not the
start of our disagreements, nor will it be the end.</p>
<p>It was part of a list of increasingly unpleasant alternatives I
was faced with. I suggested to Jonathan that he select the least
unpleasant one. JF's choices make a great deal of difference to
the outcomes he gets.</p>

<p>I do not believe that it was the real motivation for Jonathan's
resignation, which he still has to give us in my opinion.</p>

<div>Differences with leading members of the committee is
the principal reason why I resigned. The Chair has said
that he might "impose an SGM plan of my [Jay's] own
choosing and (see Procrustes bed) reject or modify motions
so that all motions put to the members are chairable".</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I hope this doesn't happen. I don't see why rejection
of motions would be necessary. According to wikipedia,
"Procrustean" is used to describe situations where an
arbitrary standard is used to measure success, while
completely disregarding obvious harm that results from the
effort.<br>

<div>I'm pleased that TUG has accepted my donation with the
"supporting TeX in the UK" restriction. If the same can be
arranged for a donation arising from dissolution I'd be a
lot happier, particularly if it happens before the SGM.</div>
