How did "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" become _the_ Linux group? These guys don't even have a web server or actual hosts in their domain. Now if this address was tied to Linux International or maybe linux.org, then they might justifiably be considered a representative of the entire Linux community. But I don't see why the Debian group should subsume our participation in deference to George Shearer and his LAME Communications Corp. I will continue to run my one rc5 client with "[EMAIL PROTECTED]". We are a hundred times more of ligitimate a Linux group; and it's fun being able to help get the word out on my favorite Linux distribution. Bruce, please reconsider your decision. Thanks. p.s.
