Sigh.  I guess  next time I'll have  to add a  longer disclaimer.  For
the record, I  didn't mean to  take fun on  you.  I was trying (albeit
with poor results) to have some fun together (maybe <auto-ironic> is a
better tag, I don't know).

That's  an opinion.  Given  that "the list"  was simply a group of Cc:
(turned into a list for purely practical reasons) I beg to disagree.

I still don't    understand   how the Linuxaudio.org  consortium    is
represting anyone  but its members (as is  the case for all consortia,
which usually don't represent anyone but their own members).

Simply because of my  bad sense of humour  (or  my lack of  expressive
capabilities,  partly  due  to  the   fact I'm not   a  native english
speaker)?  I'm quite sure there are plenty of factual reasons on which
to  base  one's own  judgement of the   Consortium, be it  positive or
negative.  Its activities could be a good start.

P.S.: maybe we could move this thread somewhere else.  I feel a bit OT
here.
