... and as a non-DD who's been using Debian for 15 years (and reading this list for many of them), and understands at least some of the technical issues, I find the suggestion that I be automatically considered a negative influence and excluded kind of annoying. The issues discussed here often do affect me, because I use Debian. I don't actively participate most of the time but I do read, and every once in a while, feel I have something to add. The problem is not non-DDs, it's jerks and/or the clueless. Maybe on this list there's _some_ correlation between "non-DDness" and those things -- but it's far from perfect... (and not, IMHO, enough to justify censorship). -miles -- Un-American, adj.
