How I feel about Debian is irrelevant. If we have a free software
convention coming to town then we absolutely have a responsibility to
help help make it as successful as possible. Aside which, you should
know by now that my complaining about something is not the same me not
liking it or supporting it.
Also, I don't underestimate you, you underestimate you and with NYLXS 1
+ 1 + 1 = 6.
