A find deeply disturbing similarities in how some list conversations go, with how some 'discussions' with my wife go. Completely different line of thinking and frayed nerves is exactly the root cause of unlooked for hostility in my real life analogy. Except, I don't have the aid of body language to read to help diagnose when to make an adjustment in what I'm saying in a list conversation before things go to far and the conversation is no longer constructive. And we have the added complication of having more than 2 people in a conversation, multiplying the possible ways things can be misinterpreted. -jef _______________________________________________ fedora-advisory-board mailing list fedora-advisory-board@xxxxxxxxxx http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-advisory-board
