Fair enough Joel, no disagreement from me on that point.� I didn't address specific lists (sorry for the oversight), but what I said would apply to the Community list, NOT Dev.
Sorry for top-posting-- I can't see how to undo formatting in Joel's reply.

That said, while I respect Auke and his experience very much I also disagree with the tone of the first response as well as his request (sorry Auke). I only see one problem with the original email: that it could have been a bit clearer on benefits to the community, exactly how the collected data would be used, etc.� Personally if more detail had been included at the start I see no need for a preliminary "hey can we post this survey to the list?" query.� Informed people can choose to accept or ignore based on a single email. Does that work as a reasonable compromise, or do I need to revisit both Diplomacy 101 and Logic 101? Randall (Randy) Arnold � I disagree.� The email on MeeGo-dev should be about meego development.� Where do you draw the line otherwise?� As soon as you open the door to “if you are nice and say it is good for us, you can post anything” there is no end to other email that can be posted.
