Did you specifically ask them if it is because we have different news in |
| 16 |
different locations? Somehow I think you're obscuring some facts to |
| 17 |
make your own argument. |

Allow me to make this one. If I want to get all of my facts from |
| 20 |
gentoo-announce, do I give a damn if the same thing is *also* posted on |
| 21 |
www.gentoo.org for others to read? Does it somehow inhibit my ability |
| 22 |
to get all of the news from gentoo-announce? |

The only problem that we have now with our multiple mediums is that not |
| 28 |
all news is on all mediums. We should have the same information going |
| 29 |
to all of these and let the user choose which method they like for |
| 30 |
getting news. |
