I'm sorry, I just don't have the time to do it justice right now, |
12 |
although I'll pass this e-mail on to the trustees in case anybody wants |
13 |
to step up. I'm happy to answer any questions, but somebody else will |
14 |
have to write the actual press release. |

It's a good idea, although my suspicion is that by the time the GWN |
24 |
comes out things will have diffused appropriately. We've had a nice bit |
25 |
of press about the issue from nearly-reputable sources, and some of the |
26 |
facts have even been correct! |

*Grin* You're quite welcome, although I also think you're a bit |
33 |
cynical. Over the last however-many years I've seen quite a number of |
34 |
good apologies on -dev and -core! |
