* _start_ the discussion on the positive news about Sarge and the importance for many large businesses and other cases. The most specific case that comes to my mind here in Europe is that Munchen chose to use Debian and not one of the well known commercial distro's. * dont't start about this coincidence that there is a press release about a start-up that hired a well-known person and you are unhappy that this got more attention than the Sarge release. It is common that a start-up will publish about hiring a well known person and maybe they just had better PR entries into the WSJ. * at the _end_, you may mention something like "and BTW, did you know that the peson you wrote about yesterday was one of the founders of Debian that I just talked about?" That may increase his interest in your story. HTH, Peter -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
