Santiago flamed me in private email for daring to ask someoone else to answer a FAQ. </Jingofiend> Anyway, I've been punting private mails to the Debian lists for years. It's a common practice. My job is to maintain my packages, not to answer private emails all day. By forwarding messages like this to debian-devel or debian-user, I ask for someone to volunteer to answer the person's question. If no one volunteers, the mail goes just as unanswered as it would if I never passed it along. So by forwarding the mail, I *increase* the chances that it will get answered, and that a curious user will be helped. Perhaps you'd care to explain to me how this is wrong? -- G.
