I hope no one is forming opinions on the whole of sudo room based on communications originating from specific people.  If you look back on the archives, I think there are many personalities that are vocal on the sudo-discuss list - this does not translate into cultural influence, nor should it be construed as representative of the values anyone other than the person behind their own keyboard.  I for one do not consider anyone a representative of my race, culture, social group, profession, or family and it is unfortunate that we have repeated probings asking for the same from a sudoer on the basis of race-based perspective.  Anyways, I hope no one is confusing post volume on the list discussion with representation of sudo room values

cheers,
Hol
