I might have translated an Italian expression in english (this might not have the same meaning), but i meant that there maust be something in the entire issue that is true/matter of fact/source of the issue. I did not ment that the entire issue is true. If people don't like James as DAM, i did not meant that James is "bad", but somthing bad happened, while he was representing Debian. When something like that happen i (we?) can't for sure defend or blame James, because one is more driven by the good things heared, the other is driven by people saying bad things. > And what about the other people that Like James? Can they too > not be wrong? There must be something true in this too: for example he did something that people liked a lot (it's all but hard to figure what). Now It's true that i started this short mail exchange thinking of James haveing dnoe "yet another ... from elmo": some one sayed it's not. May be. If we focus on open structure, we must be open not only in users <-> developers direction but olso developers <-> developers (ftpmasters and keyring), and developers <-> almost-developers (da-manager). ciao, -- Luca - De Whiskey's - De Vitis | Elegant or ugly code as well aliases: Luca ^De [A-Z][A-Za-z\-]*[iy]'\?s$ | as fine or rude sentences have Luca, a wannabe ``Good guy''. | something in common: they local LANG="[EMAIL PROTECTED]" | don't depend on the language.
