I have to agree with Lennart here; I felt a wee bit uncomfortable
reading Howard's mail. I mean really, we're supposed to be a user mailing
list here, not the borg collective (yes, I made a Star Trek reference, so
sue me :).
I don't have a problem with saying "hey, tapestry got mentioned on
slashdot, feel free to pop over and say your piece if you have one", but a
list of specific comments to make and whatnot felt out of school to me.
Others may disagree,
