OK? > Misinterpreting a question as an "accusation" is even cheaper. Hm. Okay. I apologize for misinterpretating your intention. It struck me as a rhetorical question intended to make an accusation, but that's probably not a conclusion that I should jump to based on e-mail discussions. For whatever it's worth (and this is provided just for information, not because I expect you to change your communication style to fit me or anything like that), I would have understood your intention if the question had been phrased as "Do you intend to press on despite the concerns expressed here earlier?" (Which based on the above is I think equivalent to what you meant.) -- Russ Allbery (r...@debian.org) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-project-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
