"Please - if you have an opinion, speak up one way or the other." I see a use for both lists, as long as people use the right list.

I'm only subscribed to community and device owners and read all the rest on http://lists.openmoko.org (because I lack the programming skills to give useful replies in for example the kernel list). y On Sat, Jul 12, 2008 at 6:32 PM, Stroller <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > On 12 Jul 2008, at 01:01, William Kenworthy wrote: > > ... > > Basicly I know it wont change anything, but it always helps when > > someone > > points out that your view of the universe isnt the same as everybody > > elses ... > > > > BillK > > > > * not going to reply to anymore on this topic as "minds are fixed in > > cement" > > [quoting order rearranged] > > Well, these comments apply to both sides of the argument, an argument > which goes back decades - I certainly remember many posts on Usenet > about this subject. > > The reason I'm going on about this is because I'd like to see a > consensus. > > Sure, like any geek discussing a point, I think my view is the > "right" and most logical one.
