Below you apologize for personal offenses yet make yet another one. Can
you understand how your apology doesn't come across as sincere?

What is an "everyday user"?

Where do you get the '85%' figure from? Do you seriously believe that
85% of Fedora users are subscribed to this mailing list? That's
~1,300,000 (~1.3 million) users on this mailing list. Really? Does
mailman even scale that mough?

(~1.3 million = 85% of the ~1.6 million users of Fedora 9 - Fedora 12
according to http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Statistics )
