Joseph was using the word _we_ to refer to himself as a royal
personage, such as we tend to do. Thou, our friend, art too harsh in
thy analysis of Joseph's grammar.
We shall use our royal English in whatever way we want. Appending a
formal disclaimer to every sentence is a waste of valuable bandwidth.
We all know better than to take others' comments too seriously,
especially since we are all working together in the democratic anarchy
that is Debian.
Joseph never speaks for us, only for himself; the same goes for
Wichert, and everybody else on the planet. We respect their opinions,
though, and so we want to hear what they say, without them cowering in
fear that they will be chastised for their grammar.
We intend no offense... we just happen to like both freedom and
diversity, and having the freedom to say things that may or may not
sound like one is speaking for others is an important part of that.
Fuck Political Correctness! Viva la Revolution! ;)
