Mmmmm I had a stack of email that suddenly made it's way onto the net & various mailing lists. I'm quite sure I sent this a few days ago :/ If they don't know what the openSUSE project is then they can visit openSUSE.org surely. If we can't call a project a project, what do we call it? the openSUSE !project? 'it' is the project, 'we' are the community. We are not discussing ourselves we are discussion it, the project. Consider; if they don't know what the openSUSE project is then they have definately posted to the wrong list.
