It seems obvious from most responses here that there are not very many people within the GNOME community that think that this sort of a survey would be beneficial, and worry that it may even be counter-productive. In response to this realization, you have apparently shifted into outrage mode. You pretend that it is impossible to simultaneously care about what users while also opposing a user survey that has no hope of being a representative sample of users. It is possible for well-meaning people to come to different conclusions on the best methods for achieving a certain goal. It seems that most people here don't agree with your methods. Please accept the fact that this does not mean that they hate users, despite your attempts to conflate the two things. You are free to proceed with your survey on your own. Others are free to not wish to join you. It's that simple. Can you please stop the faux outrage? jonner _______________________________________________ desktop-devel-list mailing list desktop-devel-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop-devel-list
