I said this on -private, and I'll say it here -- why is it appropriate to be an ass on -private, but not on -devel? It's not appropriate anywhere. That goes for Adrian, and Andrew, and everyone. It also leads to situations like the present, where it looks like we're doing nothing to reprimand offensive behavior, because most conversation is happening on -private, while the original, offensive message is sitting on d-d-a. If you are upset by how Andrew acted, talk to him rationally, regardless of whether it's public or private. If you are *very* upset by how Andrew acted, there is an appropriate and agreed-to policy for expelling developers. Roger Leigh has mentioned his interest in seeing this through; contact him. -- Joe Wreschnig <piman@debian.org>
