Ok, I see what you were trying to say, that makes more sense.  I
misinterpreted you as saying he should resign because you didn't agree
with what he was doing.  But you really meant that if you don't need
(strongly leading) Guides, then why have Guides at all?  Point taken,
although I don't necessarily agree with you.

It *is* okay to question what the Guides or anyone else is doing, so
don't worry about that.  Squeak-dev has always been something of a
free-for-all.  It is always a bit riskier if you are not a native
English speaker. :-)
