So, your reason for referring to Sounder is its mention on the site 
lists.ubuntu.com. That means that you credit that site with a certain 
level of authority. But according to that page, Sounder is a "random chit-
chat list". And you want the discussion about the advantages and 
disadvantages of Unity to move to that list.

Somehow I fail to see the logic behind that reasoning. A discussion about 
Ubuntu's primary user interface certainly doesn't belong on a random chit-
chat list, does it?
