Isn't "boys" a bit condescending? Or is this just my different cultural

Not to take away from the scintillating discussion of the relative merits of
various email options available, as a final post (and I'll probably continue
to monitor the list, but don't intend to participate any further or support
any future GNOME marketing efforts), I'm curious about something.

Let's please not derail this thread with a discussion of mail clients. I
don't think anyone talking to the media would ever phrase it that way to
begin with.
Let's keep this on topic about spokespeople.
Thanks!

I also think we should keep in mind that many people in our community are
part of GNOME for different reasons. Not to speak for Lefty, but he's
probably here because of GNOME Mobile. If he's media trained, has experience
speaking with the media and wants to help out, we should not turn him down!

Uses the GNOME desktop,
Sorry, been buried at work and just catching up with all the threads.
I've had media training at a past employer and will be at SCALE.
Stormy has a contact at the Apache Foundation as well who can provide media
training, if SCALE doesn't work out, we may want to think about a press team

On the vaguely related note of "stuff we discussed at GUADEC but haven't
done much about", the point was raised on the foundation-list by Miguel that
we don't have a line-up of representatives to respond to press stories such
as the recent coverage of the set-to on that list over Planet GNOME.
