I think they way you have described the discussion of the forums to be very self serving and plain wrong. There has been lively debate periodically, I have seen no flaming that you referred to. You also seem to have completely ignored the compromise proposal by the most vocal critics of the idea of having a forum. "I'm not trying to stir up any further discussion on the idea", would that be because the discussion might hold you accountable for your claims above? I think the forum should be renamed as it is currently claiming to have some connection to the LoCo. I would suggest '"Unofficial" Australian Forum' is more accurate. Either way I won't be contributing to it. Cheers Dave -- ubuntu-au mailing list ubuntu-au@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-au
