Oh yeah, I'm really trying to create fear, uncertainty and doubt about a Linux product. And you're right - I didn't check the details of the project. I'm sure back in early September I remember Mint saying they were going down the Debian rolling release route. The original question's resolution really isn't Ubuntu or Mint specific, and since the post *I* was replying to was regarding the point of non-Ubuntu posts on an Ubuntu list, I was pointing out that there really shouldn't be a problem. Remember that this list is publicly archived. Your post shows the Ubuntu community as being argumentative and inflammatory. My post shows a slight indiscretion but states that answering such questions should be acceptable. I would argue that in the greater scheme of things, your post will do more harm the the Ubuntu community than mine would.
