A secretary or someone who knows how to phrase these things? Maybe you mean no harm, but if these are examples of how you normally write letters (especially the one to Intel) I'm not at all surprised that people don't like it. > I cc'd advocacy because I thought that people might be interested in > seeing someone that is a FreeBSD user, tell a giant like Intel something > is very wrong. It's plain common sense not to cc advocacy. Apart from the unwanted implication that you're a spokesman for FreeBSD advocacy, there is a danger of the recipient of your mail getting submerged in a deluge of -advocacy replies. Luckily that didn't happen in this case. Never put someone on a group mailing list unless they ask for it. > From the whole advocacy list only one person besides Greg did not like the > fact that I cc'd advocacy. How do you know that? Maybe others just didn't want to fan the flames. Rahul. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-advocacy" in the body of the message
