For the record, Google Mail (or Gmail, if you're in the US) automatically threads every message in Backstage correctly; you can also use its excellent filters to sort mails into a particular folder; and you can hit the "m" button, which mutes any conversation, whenever the conversation descends into DRM (rights) and open source licences. Highly recommended - it's what I use all the time. The thing that reminded me to have a quick read through Backstage was this interesting quote from Linus Torvalds, held within http://blog.wired.com/monkeybites/2007/12/linus-torvalds.html ... "I dislike the frothing-at-the-mouth ideology (to me, ideology should be something personal, not something you push on other people) and I think it's much more interesting to see how Open Source actually generates a better process for doing complex technology, than push the "freedom" angle and push an ideology." An excellent quote which I will endeavour to use in 2008 every time the zealots start drowning out the conversation. (Curiously, it's also applicable, with a few word changes, to religion too). //j - Sent via the backstage.bbc.co.uk discussion group.
