I'm sorry, but those were real and relevant questions, and not a "personal
attack".  You merely don't like the fact that I asked it.


> The people who organized it before are organizing it again.

Zero sponsoring Linux groups listed, Jennifer.  I think that says
volumes.  Oh well; no real harm, though the Bay Area's groups will
presumably need a new domain, if they reconsititute their own picnic.

Too bad you indeed said exactly that -- right in the parking lot of the
Belmont IHOP, immediately following the meeting there.  

I was pretty disappointed in your explicitly ducking the issue, at the
time -- and _especially_ at your saying you hoped your predecessor, not 
you, would have to deal with it.

I guess you aren't happy about that coming out in public, eh?


> whoever wants to throw a picnic should.

Excellent!

Meanwhile, don't keep pretending that the Bay Area's Linux groups 
haven't been unilaterally removed from their former role in running
what used to be their collectively-run picnic.
