If we're going to require people to use their brains, perhaps its
not too much to ask that individuals take responsibility for paying
attention to who they are speaking to. This is not a personally configurable setting on the mailing list software, and we're relegated to a dualistic choice that cannot satisfy all participants, yet we still must choose and have previously chosen. If this will be a recurring issue, perhaps we should structure a yearly survey/vote. gf On 3/20/13 12:37 PM, Matt Mackall
