And while we are at it, I don't understand advocating employer email addresses as a way of better understanding, and then make it a local, mailing list phenomenon - if you take a look at the MeeGo forum, barely anyone (including people who voiced those concerns on this list) wears a company sticker, the best what you'll get most of the time is a reference in the person's profile/about. It really is a case of damned if you do, damned if you don't. Matters get even more complicated as simple emails do not reveal the position of the person. Personally, I don't care whether someone's email ends with @nokia or @intel. However, when someone says something that makes me cross-eyed with regard to the main goals, technical aspects of MeeGo, or simply goes against something that has been agreed upon I sure want to know his/her position in the MeeGo hierarchy. If we insist on the 'understand thy fellow poster' aspect, that is. PS. This whole thread should be in meego-community, as the topic applies to all things MeeGo, not just development.
