Since you admitted sarcasm, let me try some.
We have absolutely no means of writing emails while on the move. So it's
*impossible* for anyone to write an email giving the results that could
be then sent at a later time. I mean it's not like it's part of the
responsibilities of the committee behind the conference, or anything.

Sorry, I'm not that good at sarcasm. I guess my worldview is too
factually-oriented.

These were posted Sunday, and were unclear especially at the end.

According to the wiki timestamp,
(diff | hist) . . Statutes‎; 18:20 . . (+2,355) . . Dichter (Talk |
contribs) (incorporated Kazan changes)
this was done 8 minutes before your mail and 20 *after* mine. So it
wasn't a stupid, or invalid question.

I guess you don't recognize a movie reference then.

Your constant jumps straight to animosity to me are now increasingly
evident. Please stop trolling and try and work productively on things,
as befits someone on the PPI Board. Otherwise it reflects badly on the
board by looking churlish whenever a simple, basic question is asked.

It is a perfectly valid question that 48 hours after a conference ends,
when the minutes are unclear as to certain votes ('PUBLIC' votes), and
we've still not had an official announcement of results. Could you
imagine the outcry (by us as a group) if a national election was run
like this?

We stand for openness and transparency. I'm sorry you have such a
problem with that, Thomas.
