It was me that postured this, but it was "itching for Etch". True, it is false for the release of Etch. It you go back, and really look around the times of JUST before the other releases, lots of OT and not really related to Debian messages. Then after the release... nearly pure *Debian* related. I believe I even posted the release dates so people could go back and read. I wonder what is different this time? Dubya effect? I don't know, I _had_ hoped it would quite down on its own. I guess I was/am an optimist. -- greg, greg@gregfolkert.net PGP key: 1024D/B524687C 2003-08-05 Fingerprint: E1D3 E3D7 5850 957E FED0 2B3A ED66 6971 B524 687C Alternate Fingerprint: 09F9 1102 9D74 E35B D841 56C5 6356 88C0
