I would be surprised if he would be offended by a discussion of the future of his code.  Admittedly, I have not followed the threads talking about the future of braille, so I probably don't understand the context for Joshua's reaction here.

This seems like a challenging problem to solve, and widespread adoption of a new code will take quite a while, but fortunately better minds than mine, such as Dr. Nemeth, have started working on this problem.
