Since my tone was being questioned, how am I as a volunteer supposed  
to react to a statement like this?

"
I still doubt, though, that this designing and skinning tool, you are
proposing, can be created by one person alone. If the Adobe Catalyst
team couldn't finish Flash Catalyst within 4 years of development, how
could you possibly do that just on your own?
"

Who says I am working alone in the Apache Flex project? How did the  
conversation between Om, I and others prompt a statement like this?

Mike
