I've left messages for over a week to Aphia - she does not respond to me 
at all.   That's ok.  No, I meant nothing by it other than to state 
facts.   Please calm down and don't get so excited.    Aphia doesn't 
have to talk to me, but convening secret conferences to discuss 
something as meaningless and trivial to me as a website URL seems a 
waste of everyone's time.  Particularly since I left it there as a 
courtesy to the community and I could care less if it's on your page or 
not.
