Bryan, sometimes I think you read too much between the lines than 
generally advisable. Before you were on this list we didn't have such 
discussions and I don't feel there was an anti-Red Hat theme back then.

To be honest, I think you're creating the anti-Red Hat feeling with some 
of the black and white comments and opinions (and maybe by repeating that 
you have to fight it). This list used to be about the technical part, not 
about politics and flavored opinions. That seemed to have changed when you 
started mailing :/

And this obviously does not include the words/minute your mails are 
generating in reaction. I think you earn some of the credit for the 
reactions too, don't be too humble :p
