Mike,
If you think telling people "we'll see you around" isn't being
dismissive and condescending you're wrong. You're not helping the
situation at all.
Email does a pretty poor job of tone. Please note that up until now, I haven't been personally attacked on the list. The two replies before yours took it to that level.
By "We'll see you around" I really did mean that in a literal sense. I do actually attend conferences (and even their crappier counterpart the "virtual" conference until this COVID stuff is done). I personally know many of the people on this list. So when I say "I'll see you around". I mean "no hard feelings if you're not running a Red Hat OS next time I see you." I re-read it several times and I don't understand how that sounded condescending, but I'll take your word for it.

Also, could everyone learn to trim their replies?
