The number of people who are useless idiots is several orders of magnitude larger still. Our current process is moderately effective at keeping most of them out. We don't have much of a problem with these people joining *because* our process is the way it is. It is flawed to suggest that this means we wouldn't have one if it were easier. -- .''`. ** Debian GNU/Linux ** | Andrew Suffield : :' : http://www.debian.org/ | `. `' | `- -><- |
