That may be, however luckily we don't need to argue about it: it's simply a non-starter to use a closed-source/non-free (free as in freedom, not price) product as the primary communications medium for an open source platform like GNOME, no matter how much better it is. I do think people have overreacted to this suggestion, and been unnecessarily rude. I see no justification for accusations of trolling, etc. This kind of reaction seems to happen more often than I'd expect for a list like this. Perhaps everyone could just take a step back from their keyboard and wait a few hours before firing off accusatory messages. I often write strident emails, because it makes me feel better to express myself... but then I delete them without sending them and either don't reply at all if I ended up having nothing constructive to add, or else send something simple and concrete. Nothing is lost by waiting until tomorrow to send that email, and no one ever wins the Internet. IMHO this list would be more pleasant if people were more willing to give each other the benefit of the doubt. -- Ubuntu-GNOME mailing list Ubuntu-GNOME@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-gnome
