Seriously. > I see nothing in Patrick's wording that implies that he is speaking for the designers. It looks like he is speaking for users and attempting to explain why people may have ignored the new web site design announcement when it went out.

I post this not to stir up any animosity, but to give a specific example where the original poster was quite polite and you replied with the wrong assumptions of intent. Everyone makes mistakes, though you make fewer mistakes when you learn from the past. -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
