Toby, your message has been forwarded to the list at Red Hat. I doubt
anyone feels to harshly towards Chris; as I told Chris in my earlier
response I doubt many of us are free of the occasional episode of
"hoof-in-mouth" disease. For myself, at least, I regard it as a dead
issue.
Best

Rick,
I am the manager of Marketing Communications at Transarc Corporation and am
Chris' manager. I wrote the following note that I tried to send directly to
the RedHat mailing list, although I'm not sure it will be received since I
am not a subscriber. If it does not go through from my post, would you
please forward this to the mailing list?
Thank you.
Toby
