Dear Jordan et al When I first started using Ubuntu about 18 months ago I was looking for a way to get involved (I had already been a Linux fan for years using a variety of distros), probably writing documentation for Edubuntu, and followed the instructions as I understood them. That is why I joined this list.
I agree that the discussions on this list do not seem to be particularly relevant to that aim and so I have no problem with you removing me.
