If someone got upset elsewhere, is there where it has to be solved.

Moreover if it's that the thing, probably you are referring to something 
that happened a long time ago. If it isn't, then it has been said 
cordially like here.

It has been Randall who made the change, who is a former member and a 
Canonical employee. And as soon as people showed disagreement we started 
speaking about it in an aim to solve it.


Alan Pope:
 > Not creating new resources for people to maintain when the existing
 > resources work just fine for their intended purposes.

The purpose of the Launchpad team is mainly to advertise it, so it has 
to do with new users rather than with the current ones.

Because in that case it's a fact that things are going wrong:

It wasn't an obligation but a proposal. We have already spoken about it 
an agreed that it would be a bad decision.

That could be true, although that doesn't fall under my responsibility 
ground but Randall's.

On the other hand, been that it has been done in good will and we agreed 
to remove the team if that was what popped up from the conversation, you 
have been giving too much importance to the mistake.


Alan Pope:

When I have to repeat myself over and over, and still receiving answers 
about if we are imposing something, it isn't an interpretation but a 
fact that people are not paying attention.
