seems to me that the best course of action might be that we start talking about settling this in a way that will keep it settled. So, I'll say it again in public: call when ever you like, and we can try to sort this out. If you want my number, email me, and I'll send it to you.
MB, actually, in about the year and a half since the disagreement commenced, it has only escalated. Since I am not going to vanish like his last opponent, either it will get settled, or the escalation will likely continue.
cheers,
