Bob and I have contacted each other on numerous occassions, I would even say that we help each other out on a couple of instances.
There was a time when we decided to "join forces." Where I would have a link on my site to the H2ML and he would have a link on his to this forum. Not more than a week later, he told me that he was unsure of the future of the H2ML. I did not feel comfortable sending "my visitors" to a service that may not last, so we pulled the plug on the partnership.
Since then, it appears that the H2ML is alive and kicking, which I am happy about. Plus, it now seems that he is working on a web-based forum as well.
I obviously can not speak for all the members of each of the forums, but Bob and I are cool.
As far as the email regarding "the other H2 forum" (this one), I would like to see it. If anyone has a copy please send it my way -
