Ole hyvä is not something you would use when ordering a beer: |
| 15 |
English: A beer, please. |
| 16 |
Finnish: Yksi olut. |

I didn't say Finns are not chatty. Among friends Finns can be very |
| 19 |
chatty. Do you consider Finnish communication the same as in US? |

Under current rules you cross post with gentoo-dev-announce to |
| 27 |
gentoo-project and set Reply-To to gentoo-project. That is what I have |
| 28 |
been teaching all new recruits and will continue to do so until we |
| 29 |
change the rules (I am not against changing the rules if most people |
| 30 |
feel gentoo-project is not useful any more). |
