[openib-general] [mvapich-discuss] This is the last time I'm asking...

[Jeff Squyres]

As I explained in my mail, no one had replied to any of the posts  
containing my very directed and specific questions (not even you --  
and you still haven't), so I figured that no one cared.  That's not  
an unreasonable assumption given that I posted the same questions 3  
times and got silence in return.

I am unaware of any special "right" required to make a motion.  Are  
there some protocols (perhaps a la Robert's Rules of Order) that are  
typically used for making a motion?  I haven't seen any...?

The agenda for the SC Developer's Summit is already over-full.  This  
conversation is fine to begin in e-mail; a good start would be  
answering my original questions.  Thanks!
