Hi Kenneth,

By "random people" I just meant "people we'd not previously heard
from", no more.  You're welcome to join the Launchpad users list or
the community of Launchpad or Ubuntu users.  I was talking about one
technical team for programmers on a particular project.

I wrote that, not Matthew.  The sentence just straightforwardly means
what it says: I do not understand why people are pressing that button,
and I would like to understand why.  Again, no judgement about
yourself or anyone else, just expressing my curiosity in the hope
someone would inform me.

I think the query actually does not refer to yourself; you just
received it as one of the subscribers to the launchpad-users or bazaar
list.
