I am on multiple tech mailing lists and have been providing free help & support for Ubuntu on its list since the day it launched. Life is too short for clumsy clunky web fora with their hideous mess of proprietary markup languages, horrid top-quoting, crappy or missing threading, bandwidth-squandering graphics and all the other time-wasting junk that comes along with them. I refuse to use them. They are a crutch for people who don't know how to use email properly. I have all my email since 1992 archived and indexed and searchable here. It's elegantly sorted, categorised and threaded. If WINE goes to forums-only, I won't ever be offering help on WINE issues again. Not that I am claiming to be a great expert, but it's a useful tool. Official developer or community presence on this list would be more use than any fora. -- Liam Proven • Profile: https://about.me/liamproven Email: lproven@xxxxxxxxx • Google Mail/Talk/Plus: lproven@xxxxxxxxx Twitter/Facebook/Flickr: lproven • Skype/LinkedIn/AIM/Yahoo: liamproven UK: +44 7939-087884 • ČR/WhatsApp/Telegram/Signal: +420 702 829 053
