<aol>What he said</aol>

Aaron's replies (and the lack of other people replying) was largely due to the 
fact that most of us at aKademy felt he was dealing with it fine, and he was 
replying with at least the implicit (at least) approval of most of the people 
there.   He certainly had mine.

The thing is, in case this isn't clear, we'd like you to be on the team.  You 
have energy, and enthusiasm, and nobody has a problem with that.  You just 
have to learn how to *be on the team*, and as far as most of us are 
concerned, when it's the usability team,  Aaron is the captain.    So far 
it's more like we're entered in a 4x100m relay, and you're doing the 
backstroke.  That's not working.
