   This is a lie. We started discussing our removal from the sun-lamp
source/CVS access at 12-Nov-1993, 22:41:29. A day before Jordon sent
the document to you. The reason that the day/time is handy is because
I had sent mail out to the various people who had their access removed
to inform them that this had happend, and that's the date on the email.
We discussed the issue for about half a day and agreed that Jordon
should send out the announcement.
   It was was because of our removal that percipitated the merge is
dead "announcement".
