Hi Steve,
we have been fighting bitterly over the years, we have different points of
view, and it does not seem like we will be thiking along the same lines anytime
soon.
When you post on debian-devel or other lists and I disagree, I try to refrain
myself from juping on the keyboard and to instead give time to others to
express their disagreement. If nobody answers, I also take it as a sign that I
probably should not answer as well.
Could I ask you to do the same for me ?
Have a nice week-end,
