Re: [gentoo-project] OT Require OpenPGP signatures from existing devs on new developer applications?

[William L. Thomson Jr.]

I didn't take things off topic, it was another and I replied. I have since 
replied to people personally off list. Check spam/junk folders.

There has been 3, now with this 4 posts that are off topic, as replies to 2 
off topic posts. I fail to see how this is making it any better, and has now 
taking things from any sort of beneficial discussion.

While I did not do some of the initial off topic posts. I have started a new 
thread which others could have done. Even those replying as off topic, could 
have started a new thread on such. I even added OT to this thread topic which 
others could have done at any point and did not either.

Finally it breaks history when you start a new thread taking stuff from 
another. Anyone looking in archive or following the thread after the fact will 
have it break and have to find the trail. They will not be able to follow a 
thread to see how logically the discussion changed.

Like the new email I just posted. If anyone wants to see how we got there. 
They have to dig in another thread.

P.S.
I see lots of off topic stuff posted to many lists, some much more active than 
any of Gentoo's. I never see people saying your post is off topic. That alone 
is extremely rare. But Gentoo community loves to nitpick and control rather 
than just embrace chaos... Also much of what is said to me, I do not say to 
others. It is not up to me to tell another what is on topic or not. etc.
