No troll was intended and I am slightly offended by that label.

All the discussions to which I refer were on this mailing list, in
public, within the last 2 months.

I participated in threads on the 2nd, 7th, 20th and 24th July, in
particular. I.e., just last month.

Specific examples:
 - Jon York posted "Lubuntu project Qs" on 7th.
 - I posted "Lubuntu project questions - again" on the 24th.

If you do not have access to any list archives, would you like me to
forward my archived copies on to you?
