I thought MJD was the perfect guy to do that, having reviewed some of his
MSs while GDW yet lived, and was very pleased that he got the opportunity,
and confident that he would do a good job.
When I got convinced to surface on COTI in 2004 that was just in the final
pre-production phase of 1248, which meant it was a REALLY STUPID time for
me to show up there. I was taking some of the attention from 1248 and MJD
which he rightly deserved, and everytime I honestly answered a question,
"well, we were going to do it this way," it would just make it look like I
was quibbling with the decisions MJD made.
So I discharged my obligation and got out of there as quickly as I could.
And I had plenty of other things to do at the time anyway, running two
major DL development projects, several smaller projects, an LMS, etc.
