get over the email format!

I know.  Lost that war a long time ago...

gmail provides a nice gui-riffic format that many feel comfortable
using. I don't get where this complaining about client usage is going.
If you a want  more "pure" OS, then . . . ummmm . . . go somewhere
else.

Ron (et al) . . .  you seem to have no problem responding to the
majority of posts to this list. Is it really a matter of principle? We
understand that you "hate" gmail, but when you respond to this post
you will be admitting that it has no real affect on the overall debain
project.

Huh?

Just closing the gmail message (i.e., failed joke). I guess it should

Makes it difficult (impossible?) to find the correct thread to reply to....

I didn't change the thread subject. I suspect it's too late for me to
get your wit (if you're offering any).

I guess the point is (which you seem to agree to) is that there is no
point in fighting the gmail-thing on this list. You are a valuable
participant who doesn't seem to need all debian users to be ~mutt
users to be the recipients of you insights.

In the end, it's their/my loss.
