Please remember that our Code of Conduct requires us to maintain respectful communication. It's been suggested - initially by Neil Gaiman¹ - that the term used above should be replaced by “treating other people with respect”. Your first paragraphs read quite differently if we make the substitution: IMHO the complete brouha is treating other people with respect run amok! I would request that we return to the matter at hand - - - - computers and computing and its tools and leave the treating other people with respect to the bureaucratic elite for whom it has become a driving passion. If there's something that treating other people with respect is stopping you from saying, it doesn't belong on this list. cheers, Stewart ===== ¹: Neil Gaiman — https://neil-gaiman.tumblr.com/post/43087620460/i-was-reading-a-book-about-i...
