Your logic does not convince me. I moved from Mandriva to Red Hat; should I move my blog also? Should I have three blog sites, one for Mandriva-related stuff (which I still sometimes write about), one for Red Hat, one for other topics? No, thanks. My blog is *my* blog, I'll host it in my space. > The site looks legitimate, but it could be a well-crafted hoax. This is a well-known problem on the Internet. It's hardly credible to argue that the solution should be "everyone have their blog hosted by their employer". In absence of a truly perfect-yet-still-somehow-not-privacy-invading internet ID system, you use common sense and prudence. It's pretty easy to establish that Keith Packard is a leading X.org contributor - a brief perusal of the commit logs tells you that - and the chance of someone establishing a site pretending to be his site, for the purposes of publishing plausible-sounding yet misleading synposes of X.org driver development progress (to...what end, exactly?) is close to zero. Yes, it's not *at* zero, so with your tin foil hat on, you can't believe that site is actually run by the same person (or three-headed lizard) who makes code contributions to X.org. But it's close enough for government work. Hell, I doubt you've personally verified the GPG signatures of anyone who posts to this list, so you don't know who we all are. Unless you reply to this message and ask me to verify it - and you trust that no-one's hacked into my Red Hat email account - you've no idea this email really comes from me (and, of course, to you, 'Adam Williamson' is a pretty nebulous concept, if you think about it). But most people are happy to work on that assumption... I really think you're attaching far too much importance to an issue that doesn't practically rear its head much, and not thinking too hard about your proposed solution. -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Fedora Talk: adamwill AT fedoraproject DOT org http://www.happyassassin.net -- fedora-test-list mailing list fedora-test-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-test-list
