That is/was correct. When you indicated you would leave when the Christian
debate started, I stated clearly even in the forum if I recall I would leave if
you left. You were the one who convinced me to join initially and I had a great
deal of respect for you.

I put a lot of effort into the work I did for CEGT, I argued with none and had
good discussion on what we were all doing and debate on ideas for the future.

I never lost the fun of doing what I enjoyed. I lost the dedication I initially
felt towards you over your senseless attacks on Kirill and Ray. The Christian
vote I was never in favor of as Christian had already stated he would leave.
But I still at that time went along with trying to get everyone to vote in your
favor so that we would be left with an harmonious team. And even then you
managed to turn the result into yet another argument over not being told the
result soon enough and in trying to disseminate the neutral voters as therefore
being against you.

I posted at CEGT that I was leaving the group, but that I would proceed with the
next update of blitz as scheduled. After which in an email exchange with Ray.
Kirill and Graham which was simply one where we wished each other luck etc the
ideas for the new group started.

There isn't and never was a new group by Kirill. The group CCRL was as already
stated a lot of time formed by a group of 5. Kirill is one of the group.

As you say "your decision" no offence but after leaving CEGT if I choose to join
another group I don't really feel its anything to do with you. I didn't lie when
I left CEGT I planned as I stated to continue testing on my own.
