Maybe it's not because of the account, whose lack prevents me from even complaining to Google about being abusively subscribed to lists I don't want to be in (nothing to do with the one you proposed, mind you); it could be because I refuse to run proprietary Javascript on my browser, or because I reject cookies and use Tor, and so Google requires me to solve a CAPTCHA that I can't even see before it might or might not grant me access to the archives. Who knows? The important question is Why should we collective choose that over what we're already using and that's aligned with the interests of our community? -- Alexandre Oliva, freedom fighter http://FSFLA.org/~lxoliva/ You must be the change you wish to see in the world. -- Gandhi Be Free! -- http://FSFLA.org/ FSF Latin America board member Free Software Evangelist|Red Hat Brasil GNU Toolchain Engineer
