Doing so is no different then an three strike ( the list admins telling individuals they are crossing the line ) kick on IRC followed by BANNED and it really should not require involvement of the board/cwg no more then it's not required for irc channels.

Hi,

So this is the part where I come out of the closet (and get flamed for not replying properly or something) and announce that yes I'm lurking this list.

Johann, I am one of those people that can be called an asshole or a douchebag at times, but I always can be called human. I can also be called a contributor, ambassador, QA bugzapper and packager. In addition the human emotion of annoyance in me wants this thread to be moderated.

There is an _expression_ you may or may not be familiar with called "Beating a dead horse". Stop it.

I take what a lot of board members say as gospel (most of the time) and you should too.

Herlo made a point. There are elections, if you really care that much, run. 

Otherwise drop it. This is not kindergarten. It's a Linux distro.

Dan
