Because the voting went even no decisions can be made. However I'll
try to conclude what was or could have or should have been said.

Harris said that he will in the future be more thoughtful and pay more
attention to the free advices he is given by the group. After all he
recognizes that he needs and uses lots of highly skilled and valuable
human resources. He also said to be thankful for all assistance
donated for free b those who decide to help him. Importantly James
also promised that he will in the future behave better in all news
groups, that especially meaning reading all replies to the threads he
has started. He also indicated be willing to not start more than one
SF thread per day - ever. Quite unexpectedly James also made a promise
to sometimes try to help others i.e. post replies to other threads -
first such would be seen already during this weekend.

Regulars on NG's did mention that in the past their most serious
concern had been the neglecting of their carefully thought answers and
instructions. That ignorance in the past may have been the main reason
behind excessive use of potentially insulting expressions. Many of the
regulars underlined any ones right to try to achieve seemingly
impossible goals. Surprisingly some regulars found to have been self
educated by James or while investigating the surrogate factoring. Good
writing skills of James Harris were also highly valuated as in many of
the replies. Some regulars made convincing promises of trying not to
attack James with useless no-educating terms - "after all it is not
likely that the quality of surrogate factoring will improve by
insulting it."

Both parties did indicate potential for improved future co-operation.
James self suggested that in case he would constantly violate the
rules of co-operation the regulars would have rightfully the right to
disrupt the SF discussion in sci.math and sci.crypt any way they can,
for example by increasing the noise level in SF discussion by posting
replies containing texts in monk Latin - or the regulars might decide
by popular vote to declare him and surrogate factoring off topic. And
in that case James promised to obey and take development of surrogate
factoring elsewhere. Regulars did thank James for allowing them to
participate in reweaving and developing of surrogate factoring.
Interestingly all regulars individually promised that insulting would
not become the main theme in their replies regarding surrogate
factoring. Regulars also thank James for trusting to them the power of
collectively asking James to leave.

Thanks to all who participated, with words or thoughts.

Well, that's about it, bye.
