Mike:
IMO, you're absolutely right in not wanting to help
Dave-C with attracting a larger audience. I think your "alternate
possibility" list below, while a strong tactic, would affect
the undesired response.
However, your other suggestions seem dead-on. The
LEAF team *is* the support team (and arguably the developer
staff) for LRP. The reason that the LRP mailing list is
currently successful and useful is because of us, not because
of Dave-C (who, granted, got it all started). Resultingly,
our support is now helping Dave-C to spread his message of
violent anarchism. Which, clearly, sucks.
So IMO, it's a good time to pull the plug, and
relocate the support team and development staff to leaf-user.
The critical relocations will be for the distro developers:
Charles, David, Ewald, etc. The package developers like me
will follow, obviously.
Thoughts? Perhaps a vote to sever in such a way? I
can see how some would see that it's cutting off our nose
to spite our face.
