Is that not putting popularity before the distro? Following one blindly
is never good regardless of the person.

I think Xyne shows what being open and honest publicly should be like,
especially in this voting process. Should other's not state why they
agree to this one statement?

>From a non TU's perspective D.R. was the only one who could publicly
state why greysky should not be a TU, and the rest of the sheeple just
followed the "old and grumpy" man, at least that is "public" appearance
of this whole thing. As been stated already there have been some TU's I
have seen fly through that do not even appear as active as greysky is as
a non TU. To me and maybe I just love a good story, but there seems more
behind the denial than was publicly discussed.

@greysky from one non TU to another keep up the good work, some of your
posts have helped me when researching problems I had.
