Karl,

I have read your email 3 times, yet, I didn't understand anything :(
I appreciate everything you have done and you are doing right now, you
are, unquestionably, doing a good job :)
On the other hand, you got me confused like never before so what exactly
are you planning to do? give me heart attack :P :P just kidding ;)

You first want have control over LOST and convert it to a Wiki Page (which
is WRONG coz we have talked many times about that and we agreed it's a BAD
idea - why? go back to the previous emails, please). Then, you sent another
email saying that by doing so and so, people will stop using LOST and LOST
will won't be needed. Now, you go back to the same old story and the LOST
talk. No offense but I do NOT understand what is the BIG deal about LOST?
seriously? :(

Adopting LOST Style is PERFECT IDEA not because I have created LOST but
because nowadays, time matters and every second is precious so saving time
is a priority if you ask me.

Changing LOST to a Wiki Page? I'm sorry but I will never explain any
further why this is a bad idea.

You want to ignore me and do it? okay then, go and convert LOST to a Wiki
Page :)

I can't make it simpler than this :)

We were talking about help.ubuntu.com so why we jumped and talked about
LOST? how many times do we have to keep talking about LOST? I'm having hard
time and tell you the truth, I do have health problems and doctors begged
me to NOT kill myself and spend hours on the internet :)

*If it is NOT broken, don't fix it. If it is broken then don't ask, just
fix it :)*

OR ... here is another plan:
Go through LOST, since you are so obsessed by changing it and find what
post/content that need to be edited/updated/changed and let me know :)

I can't be more helpful than this. I'm giving all the suggestions and ideas
in mind but trust me, LOST >> Wiki Page >> BAD idea.

I must sleep now ...
