Look back through the list archives since the deal between MS and Novell was announced. I'd bet close to 1/3 of all the mail to this list involved non technical discussions of the agreement. I'd think this might be a good thing on this list, since it puts forth what the Novell CEO's position on this deal is, and might end all of the speculation one way or the other. Tell me what the technical aspects of "A five year plan to Novell/SuSE" are.
Have a close look at:

And think again.
Think again about what? All I did was present facts. Go back through the posts since the deal was announced and tell me how many were of a non technical nature. Dozens, maybe hundreds, and someone picks one e-mail to say, this isn't the place for that? Gimme a break. My point was, this list has been filled for weeks with discussion over the deal between Microsoft and Novell. Someone posts a useful link, one that presents the Novell CEOs position on the deal. I have to believe the CEO is more knowledgeable than the list users over the legal and economical reasons and ramifications of the deal. If anything, maybe his post will end some of the speculation by presenting a link to the explanation of SOMEONE WHO ACTUALLY KNOWs WHY this was done. You drew your line in the sand about a hundred miles after it was already crossed.
