Hello Luggers,
Yeh, the subject of the mail has been intentionally concieved to mislead. Our pre-concieved notions, our home grown ideas......calling others to be gpl compliant, picking on those who were in your position when you were at the bottom of the fsf/os learning curve just goes to show our apathy to those humble souls who have come to seek help.
As soon as someone asks for help he/she gets slammed up the nose for being incorrect, a wrong posting/displaying wrong ethics...the list just goes on and on. A list *IS* the voice of our movement and the values we stand up for....what each one of you does and says here will be counted for/against what we all stand up for.
Bickering/picking time and again just gives the opposition more ammunition against us and our outlook.
Why not welcome suggestions/brickbats/accusations/mistakes/wrong posts/incorrect_subject lines. If you care....write a personal mail to the person off this list telling him/her about what you think.
This list cannot and will not be an umbrella for fanaticism of any kind. We have to learn to me moderate and tolerable. Treating polotical voilence/suppression with non-voilence gave india what you and i treasure the most. Lets learn something from old frail man with a vision who none of us can match but look up to.
These are my thoughts.......we are more than a list..a movement.
Trevor
