Hello all, and goodbye, I received the following email today. Given Matthew's position, and given mine, I decided to accept the deactivation, and cancel my subscription in the launchpad-users list. Now, for a parting, quick, and disgusted comment: <rant> Why is it necessary to know our names? If I tell you a name, how will you know it is my name? Sigh. This discussion happened already here [1]. I [2], and some others, did not agree with this requirement, and presented some arguments that *never* were completely responded to by Canonical. Double sigh. I expect this to be something that Canonical is going to force throughout, and more and more, I guess, my involvement with Ubuntu will have to decrease. </rant> ..hggdh..
