Miguel, Karolin is the Samba release manager and as such is
free to chose whichever quotes for the release she feels are
appropriate. I am constantly delighted at the range of
material she finds and uses !

If you don't like the quotes you are free to unsubscribe
from samba-technical, and you won't have to see them.

Regards,

	Jeremy Allison.

So is it now normal that *technical notes* about a Samba release START 
with a political statement? I wouldn't mind very much if it was a 
signature, but *start* a technical note with it? We are immersed enough 
in political noise and indoctrination by the media and then we still 
have to go through it again on a technical mailing list?

The only possibility here is for me to unsubscribe? Is it forbidden to 
just give my views about it and then go on with life? Why?

Hear, hear! Thanks for saying it, Jeremy. This is one of the many
reasons I appreciate you and the work the Samba team does.

Cheers,

Because complaining as you did about an innocent quote in release notes
is bullying. You can agree or not, you didn't need to tell anyone about
it unless you were trying to intimidate Karolin into not using quotes
that conflict with your world-view.

I don't want to see bullying on this list please. Let's drop the matter
and get back to technical issues.
