Dear contributors,

As an end user of a linux distro and subscriber to this list, I have to 
admit to being completely lost amongst its recent content and becoming 
increasingly disinterested in opening it.

One would imagine the politics of the users and people that attend 
groups (being whatever set of letters it has in it) would be moving in a 
fairly similar direction with similar goals in mind with some passion 
behind it.

My ignorance to the matter gives me the impression that it should be 
called neither LUG CLUG FLOSS or FOSS but LOST!

When the bickering is sorted and the dust settles, i'm sure there will 
be some quasi winners and losers that will scowl at each other across 
meeting rooms whilst others sit at computers learning and sharing knowledge.

Happily apathetic to it all
Phil Gemmell
