 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.
