John has now uns*bscr*bed from this list, which is a real shame. I've
had private email conversations with him about what to expect, but I
suppose he finally had enough. He's right about the reaction he's gotten
from the list. We had a Red Hat rep on our list at one point, with the
same results.

Hassling these Linux company reps is like hassling the operator when
your phone doesn't work. *She* can't fix it, so why give her grief?
These Linux company reps have a responsibility to represent their
companies, and to forward the company line. Can't really blame them for
that, even if you disagree with them.

If we *ever* get another Linux company rep on the list, it would be nice
if we cut the guy a little more slack.
