1. Please get yourself a mailer that doesn't mangle Máirín's name, there
are plenty of "Free Software" ones
It sounds like you think you have seen some sort of problem. I use
GNU Emacs for reading and sending mail. Like any nontrivial program,
it has bugs. Perhaps you have found one.
If you have come across a bug in some GNU program, the constructive
response is to report it so it can get fixed. Please report bugs in
GNU Emacs to bug-gnu-em...@gnu.org.
2. If the extent of your involvement in the GNOME Foundation's life is
going to be something that a bot can replace, can we please have the bot
instead?
I've been campaigning for computer users' freedom for 30 years. The
GNU/Linux system comes out of that campaign. GNOME in particular
does, too; it was started specifically to provide a free software way
to avoid running the then-proprietary Qt library. People who hold
open source views would not have considered this necessary.
If someone can design a bot smart enough to find and express new
specific ethical points, such as highlighting the similarity in values
between the free software movement and OPW, I would be glad to let the
bot take over from me. I have a lot of other work to do.
