I responded on-list to a message from Ulrich Drepper, who in his sig
claims to represent Red Hat. Why is that not an effective way to
get someone who claims to represent Red Hat to listen?

I really didn't make myself clear, earlier. I'm not going to re-post
the longer message, I'm sure you'll see it soon. The entire concept
of going around periodically munging executables is a bad idea
ab initio. The program does not need fixing, it needs removing.

We clearly agree on this.

But philosophy of where FC should be going does not belong on bugzilla.
And that is the topic I was trying to pursue.
Do you know of a better forum where one should post messages which
say "FC is headed in the wrong direction. It needs to turn."?

You have found the bank of Larn.
I can explain it for you, but I can't understand it for you.
I speak only for myself, and I am unanimous in that!
