	Nabil, Colin has been responding to _your_ attacks.
	He's been doing so forcefully.


	You are now trying to discredit the TFCN by alleging
	some secret, which if exposed, would be somehow bad
	for it, and you are saying you would do this because
	you want Mr. McGregor to lay off.


	That's a form of blackmail, and as such is highly
	improper behavior.  I suggest that if there were
	any improprieties (which from any knowledge that
	I have, seems _highly unlikely), that you bring
	them out into the open so they can be examined by
	whoever has concerns, and so that you can rescue some
	credibility by dealing openly with issues like others
	seem to be doing.

	No doubt your offer to "resign" from TFN board
	candidacy was for you a ritual gesture, offered as
	a politeness, with the expected reassurances etc.
	supposedly sure to follow.


	Unfortunately there are many people for whom such
	gestures are at best hollow, and for whom a measurement
	of performance seems a reasonable response.  Some of
	these people have in their own minds appeared to be making
	such a measurement, & found your offer to be the correct one
	in their view.  This is a form of rational behavior which
	you are mistaking for "attacks" (which a few are _also_
	doing), and for which the request for you to withdraw
	has seemed to be the most practical solution.
