Amen. Funny, I was just commenting to a friend last week about how civil and
free from mud-slinging the list is (or maybe was?), and how remarkably
helpful it has been for me and others. 

The Cu-mine/Athlon and RPM/deb stuff belongs elsewhere, IMHO. Let's just nip
it in the bud and try and keep it from happening too much in the future. I
know that everyone on the list is capable of producing helpful/insightful
(oooh, /. buzzword) comments, so let's all post those kind instead.

No hard feelings toward the participants of the verbal scuffles. 

Cheers,

Joel
