Seems like a >small price to pay to keep from cutting yourself off from useful posts >(ie. constructive contributions). why do you think I'd be cut off from the contributions? I'm not stopping reading fedora-devel, but for some issues I wouldn't post there. Seriously, though it doesn't cut me off from most contributions and b/c of the structure of maintainers list it lends itself nicely to people who are willing to do more than just give their opinion actually discussing items. Over the years of working on misc open source projects I realized I get a more tired, more quickly of hearing complaints and opinions from people if they're not willing to help either solve them or implement their solutions. that's just me though. -sv
