Craig,

There is no reason for Phil Bralich or anyone else to impede progress 
on the scope-and-sequence project. Also, one should reach a limit 
regarding how much energy one expends on responding to criticisms from 
someone who seems impervious to valid counterarguments. It's often hard 
not to respond, but it gets to be a waste of time when one's defenses 
are ignored, summarily dismissed, or criticized illogically.

Two strategies: (i) resist the urge to respond yet again with a 
lengthy, decently argued response; (ii) hit the delete button. Everyone 
on this list has that choice with regard to every message (including 
mine). If your project got strong support at the ATEG meeting, there is 
no reason to believe that won't continue. If someone wishes to create a 
competing or separate project, let them, and let them look for support.
