I can tell you this if I ever do join I would definitely want all comments whether good or bad known. Comments made in secret is one of the worst abuses of an open process there is and if you cannot see that I really do not know what to say. When I originally joined this list that was my intent but quite frankly I have been rather put off by all the BS I see going on and I would image I am not the only one. If you people spent half as much time and energy on Debian as the foolishness that goes on here then an already fine system would be so far ahead of the other distros they would never have a hope in hell of catching up. BTW nice to know I can count on your objection before you even know anything about me or I have even applied, it appears I must thank you again for reinforcing the general stereotype people have when they think of a Debian user.
