Hi Jason, Absolutely, my apologies. I didn't mean to imply anything about Takari specifically. Your efforts, as always, are fantastic and a real credit to the OSS community. I was speaking more philosophically about the scope of the list in general.
And actually, I think Manfred and I are not really disagreeing: my point was more pragmatic that sometimes more targeted forums will provide better assistance for individual issues. But I agree that a varied and robust discussion on this list is good for the community. I personally have already learned about several great technologies because of it.
