Of course. I expect mail, when properly configured at both ends, to arrive quickly; it's extremely common for me to be holding a conversation on some other medium (IRC, telephone), to have them mail me something, and for us to sit around for all of five seconds before I have the mail and we continue what we're doing. That's very common and quite reliable. The core of his argument appears to be "well, I don't care about that, so you shouldn't either", and that's incredibly unconvincing. (I don't care about @debian.org mail per se; I care about the fact that Debian acts as a role model in the community, and Debian's practices will directly affect those of others. Ignoring this fact is extremely irresponsible.) -- Glenn Maynard -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
