Sure, and just to be clear I don't think we should be bothered by informality and joking around. If you have a good relationship with somebody and poking at each other is just how you relate, you can get away with it. We shouldn't have to walk on eggshells, but it just seems like we get a lot of flames in general going around and IMO at least it seems like it makes the distro a bit less fun. Of course we shouldn't lower our standards for quality, and I suspect that most of the people who do commit mistakes to the tree would probably agree, at least when they're sober. :) -- Rich
