Sorry Ahmad - others who contribute to this list and who are involved in
IMG projects will know where the truth lies. It is important not to
mislead folk about these things and to make sure of the facts before
making such statements. One of the problems in GPPL is that next to no
funding has been provided for development of clinical software. This is
a fairly general state of affairs. You might also ask yourself why I
would otherwise make such a statement unless I believed it to be true.
It comes close to accusing me of uttering a 'verbal inexactitude' which
is surely not very nice... :-)

Actually this was a reply to two of your earlier contributions to this
thread - this bit.....

Your reply

and in another reply your comment

No mention of any private message. Simply commenting on views that you
have stated in one or other of your many public messages. Tell me where
I have digressed.
Am I not entitled to make my personal position crystal clear?...

Very surprised by that comment. No quite the contrary - this has more
to do with 'telling it how it is' and not being frightened off by anyone
however long and hard they shout.
If there was 'somebody nagging' I am pretty sure they would choose to do
it through someone far more important and influential than me. :-)
