I know the feeling. And this is when getting complete silence back is almost as bad as getting. You end up thinking your message is being discarded as irrelevant. That's why, sometimes, I write offlist to people. To thank the poster individually without boring the other subscribers with a pointless ack. > Another FSFE member who wishes to remain anonymous, I guess, did send me > the following: No, I didn't want to remain anonymous. I just didn't feel the need to post, having nothing new to add. Besides, I was travelling and couldn't follow developments soon enough. But since I'm now posting, I also want to thank Matt Witts for his wise words in <665e43d4-9258-82c1-6cb1-208de7ec3...@yuj.it>, yesterday (https://lists.fsfe.org/pipermail/discussion/2018-March/012320.html). I go as far as repeating his core message: > The FSFE / FB thing is a classic case of personal choice elevated to > moral imperative. Use FB/Don't use FB it's not relevant.
