[TLDR summary: Agree with the point but nearly deleted as spam.] At that point I was double-checking for spam: 1) Vague, spammy, subject. 2) Vague, almost too formally "collegial" "Friends" greeting. 3) "It would be advantageous"? In a non-spam mail? Don't see /that/ sort of formal "distant" wording very often... except in spam! But maybe my mailing circle is significantly different than yours. <shrug> On the counter-spam side, how many spammers would be (true or fake) gpg-signing? I've learned to ignore that for quick reads (tho could of course verify if I needed to and thus appreciate the value), but saw it once I was second-looking, and that was enough to convince me to read further, at which point I saw that the mail was legit. On topic, meanwhile, not that a non-dev opinion counts for too much, but FWIW, agreed with the point. I don't do IRC so seeing the acks, etc, on- list, would make it easier for me to follow too. =:^) -- Duncan - List replies preferred. No HTML msgs.
