Mailing list are a tool. We want constructive and rewarding discussions.
Then we have fun because we have achieved something.
"Having fun in a flamewar" is not the kind of fun we need to seek.
Because there's no reward for the project, only some self-satisfaction of
a few individuals.
"People need to learn to put Debian’s interests before their owns."
That was from you on http://blog.technologeek.org/2006/03/01/20
It would be so great if you could also apply it in the context
of mailing list discussions.
