I get the impression that you've been hoodwinked into thinking there is an "official Linux team" - there ain't - there's a linuxnet.org team, organized by those IRC guys. The odds of winning any of these contests (even with a strong team) is something like 1 in 10,000 - so the objective isn't to win - it's just to compete. Your argument is sort of like saying we shouldn't buy a lottery ticket and write "Debian" on it, because someone else bought a lottery ticket and wrote "Linux" on it - and they might be offended if we won. Having teams makes it a bit more fun. Having 1 team (ie. a Linux team) sort of kills the competition aspect of it all. So I'm still in favour of using the debian@debian.org address, even though that address is just an auto-responder. Once I get my experimental dwww release out (hopefully tomorrow), I'll package up an "rc5-bovine" package to replace the "des-solnet" package. Cheers, - Jim
