True, my email footer contains "quote me freely". But no, that does not imply that I consider any and all emails or chat message without such explicit statement should me considered as having the opposite implicit intent. > I would welcome it very much if we could get back to technical > discussions and, if asked a simple question via a Medium you > officially promote on your website, you give a simple answer in the > future. You did not find my answer on that medium simple? Then let me try again - in this public medium where I am more willing to doing more elaborate writing, because there is a higher chance that my writing efforts reach an audience finding it valuable: I have a private life, and I have a professional life, and I have a life with Debian. My life with Debian overlaps to some extend both my private and my professional lives, but to a very large extend my Debian life is done in public - and I prefer to keep it that way. So when someone contacts me at mediums/platforms tied to my professional work or my private person, I routinely request that the conversation please be moved to a public medium/platform. I don't do that blindly - there are few types of conversations relevant to keep discrete - either for a shorter period of time or maybe forever - maybe because they are personally damaging or organisationally damaging or for other reasons. For your simple question of "How do I proceed?" I answered "Please use email and our public bugtracker, not discrete methods like this". > I don't think that that is too much to ask for in a setting > where everyone donates their free time and not want to waste time > writing full blown mails to everyone and there dog for a quick > question no one will care about later. Email is pretty much the default medium in Debian - used for bugtracking and discussion and voting. Matrix is very much not default nor officially existing in Debian. Therefore, if email is painful for you, then... Whatever. > While you are technically correct on this issue, I consider it > socially inadequate to not point me to the issue you knew of very well > when you had the chance. I didn't point you to our bugtracker? You couldn't be bothered to read the 2 (two) bugs against the package you wanted to work on, but you complain that I didn't do that work on your behalf? > Maybe if we can agree that there are more helpful ways to interact > right from the start, we could find a way forward in the other bug > report....
