Yes, one of those (or another) answer should've been returned, I'm sorry for that. > I find it very strange that the DPL(team) explicitly calls for all input, > then ignores that input, and then complains on -vote that they did not get > enough opportunity to tell what they were doing. Well, I for myself can say that this input was not ignored. I re-read your mail (I can only find one in my mailbox), and the issues you raised were a real concern for us. Your mail helped in getting clearer ideas how the current situation was, and as such influenced the direction a bit. I do note that your mail was raising an issue, and calling for some action, rather than asking a question. Which still means it should've gotten an answer, instead of silence -- although I did talk with you privately multiple times about the issue since. Anyway, unless you want to followup relevant for -vote, I suggest we'll continue this discussion privately over a beer or something. --Jeroen -- Jeroen van Wolffelaar [EMAIL PROTECTED] (also for Jabber & MSN; ICQ: 33944357) http://Jeroen.A-Eskwadraat.nl -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
