25 OK my bad i read this thread first. I didn't see any outright lying etc
26 although i guess the comments about ciaran's status can be seen as
27 interference. Personally I've found drobbins' comments to be civil at
28 least, even when he's clearly been wrong. (That top-posting tho, sheesh! ;)

30 On a broader note, i thought this list was for all aspects of gentoo
31 development, not just technical ones. Am i wrong about that? If so, sorry-
32 where does the public discussion about non-technical issues happen? Have to
33 say, that there's a lot of dev stuff that isn't technical, much to most
34 coders' chagrin.
