No. Courtesy flows .../both ways/. If you cannot be bothered to be courteous to
let the project know that you are active, the project cannot extend the courtesy
of calling you a contributor anymore, makes sense ?
No sense here. Who is the project ? Only the guys who can respond ?
Correct ? Not the guys who desire to but cannot respond ? So the
courtesy says junks those guys, who belong but cannot respond even if
they want to ? Correct ? I would prefer to be away from such well
polished show of courtesy.

Ugh ! you don't really that the capacity to understand metaphors, do you ?
Just because I extended on the metaphor of your choice, which forces you
to think a little more, you blame my understanding. Thanks for the honour.
For all intents and purposes of the ^project^ (watching the movie) you are in
absentia, so you are no longer relevant to the decision making process of what
happens to your privilege towards the project (ie: your movie ticket).
Don't take a simple metaphor and murder it.
Well a movie lasts an hour or two. Bug resolution tickets a few weeks.
Can we be a little specific similarly about the Volunteer Ambassador,
when should we assume the Ambassador as dead and not relevant to the
decision making process, is there any scope of expecting that the dead
was not dead at all, but was only sleeping and can wake up any time.
Anyways, seems like you either don't have the comprehension ability to
understand what is being said, or are just too stuck up to admit you were wrong.
This is my last response on this thread.
At least, you understood this much, you should thank me. Thanks for the
honourable comments anyway.
with regards,
