I apologize if people think that this is a problem. I think it was Greg who pointed out that this sort of thing happens occasionally. IIRC, the last big flamewar we had was close to a year ago. Like this one, it meandered all over the place. After a few days, it slowed to a trickled and a few days after that it was over. If you notice, the traffic has slowed consideerably after a 36-48 hour period of heavy posting. > Oh the other hand, over the many years I've been on this list, > I've always found input from Joey Hess to be very valuable and > IMHO his leaving would be a considerable loss. > > Perhaps it's time for all of us to ask ourselves why Joey (and > many others) feel that this list has become less useful over the > last few years. > I think it is just a matter of perspective.
