Quite interessting that you sent out that mail a few minutes after I told you I'm going away from my computer. Well done. Anyways, I disagree with that statement. If your cited sentence is correct, Andreas has investigated whether someone (and you refused to tell who, it might be even someone in the role of an ftp-master) might be interessted in becoming lead ftp-master without asking James Troup for permission first for that investigation. As far as I know James, it is possible to speak with other people about solutions without offending him. And I can understand if Andreas makes a first research round without asking James about each candidate first - if there seems to be a competent and willing candidate available, there is still enough time to discuss that with James. And it is really something quite different whether one "attempt to get someone to take over elmo's position" (in other words, hijack that), or whether he investigates whether there is someone else who is both competent and interessted, and then try to get a common agreement. Oh, BTW, I hope I didn't do anything equally wrong for you when I talked to Anthony today about stable point releases on an IRC channel where James wasn't present. I know that James doesn't really mind, but you might. Cheers, Andi -- http://home.arcor.de/andreas-barth/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
