I, for one, did not see any "piling on", certainly nothing close to the levels that prompted that discussion from years ago nor that prompted Roy's post, at the start of all this. And FWIW, just because Roy expresses an opinion, it does not make it Biblical; Not that I don't agree with most of what Roy's comment indicates, but also starting off a podling with a heavy-handed control also hamstrings the podling just as badly. It's called moderation. It's actually quite useful. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: general-unsubscr...@incubator.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: general-h...@incubator.apache.org
