OK, I owe some people here an apology.  My last post was somewhat
heated.  Certainly more that you deserve.  I do appreciate the work that
you do.  It's got to be a fiddly and tedious as some of the drafting
that I've done over nearly 20 years.  Mr. Pool, I've got to thank you
for drawing to my attention that I was getting out of hand.  And for the
rest, I'm sorry.  My words were more heated than they should have been.

I'm very glad that the problem is fixed.  Now perhaps we can come to a
little understanding between us.  I promise, without the heat this time.
I've been using Ubuntu since Warty came out.  In that period of time
I've had to stumble around, pretty much by myself, trying to figure out
how to fix things that I broke, or learning to do without.  I only
stumbled on the Arizona Team less than a year ago, and there is still a
great deal that I'm trying to learn about not only Ubuntu, but the
organization.  Or maybe I should say the confederation of organizations.
Intentional or not, there are major separations between, say, the
developers and marketing, between news and LoCo's.  Between all sorts of
factions that are under the umbrella of Ubuntu.  In many ways, this is
good.  Sometimes, I think that outsiders and n00bies like me need a
roadmap to be able to figure out where to go and who to talk to when we
get frustrated.  People, like me, don't have the knowledge of where to
go, necessarily.  And I realize that it may appear that we need to have
our hands held, sometimes, but sometimes that really IS what's necessary
to help people learn.  Things that are common to you are esoteric data
to someone like me.  And really, this isn't amed simply at bzr, but all
over Launchpad.  It keeps getting better, both because Launchpad,
itself, is trying to meet us halfway, and because as I get around more I
learn more.

What I'd like you, as a team, to think about is this:  Is there a way
you can make it easier for someone like me to find the information I
need for myself?  Is there a way that people like me can be helped to
NOT feel frustrated or put upon or called out?  We've all heard the
stories about forums where the term "RTFM" is standard, and it's NOT a
polite comment.  If you, as a group, feel that this is something that
could help you, just as I feel it could help people like me, then I
would be more than willing to work with you to try to help BOTH of us to
understand the other side of the story.

If it's something that might interest you, feel free to contact me.
[EMAIL PROTECTED], or IRC #ubuntu-us-az, and hollar for tyche.

Thanks.
