I'll add this to my list of design patterns for community management.
Without this principle, e-mail communication might soon end up with the meaningless controversies, and full of frastrations....

I think so. Yes.
Thank you,
You are welcome. I got a good feeling out of this: we are all different and our text based asynchronous communication media might just suck us dry after a while... but human signal *does* get thru.
And this, more than any newsletter or infrastructure, is what, IMO, makes us (the ASF) a different kind of community. A place where you are ready to step the frustration aside to learn and, as you say, be "cleverer than yesterday".
Tetsuya.
P.S. Yes, I think I should "take a rest" for a while. I will unsubscribe all the -dev lists which I am now participating, and travel (Not for Yoga in Mt. Fuji :-) in the next month.. I want to go to Okinawa and Kyoto)
I think it's a very good idea. Pull the plug for a while, if you can, get back to the simple things. You'll find things more balanced in your mind after that.
Ciao.
