[Battlemesh] No results again

 Yes, indeed it was not totally useless. Also Henning found a bug in 
 OLSRd2.
 But we can achieve much more than this, and we should really do that: 
 because we need it for our networks to run better, because we can, we 
 have the resources and the technical skills to do it. As Toke wrote in a 
 previous email, the problem here lies from layer 8 upwards.

 Let me also ask you Simon, who is being expelled by whom and how?

 Roger unsubscribed from this mailing list and is implying he's feeling 
 expelled.
 What does he have to do with this debate? He came on the last days of 
 the event and he did not seem to have participated in the test process, 
 so I don't see why he should feel responsible, accused or expelled for 
 anything; those of us who participated all did various mistakes and 
 crashed the testbed a few times, we should all expel ourselves then ;-)
