this is a wrong assumption, if i file posts as ogra at ubuntu.com i only
talk for myself, not for any company.
the only "boss" behind ubuntu lists, forums or IRC channels is the
ubuntu community, which in regards of governance is represented by the
ubuntu community council, not by canonical at all ...

i also didnt say that massimo (devicerandom) should stop contributing
but should consider to contribute in other areas of ubuntu if he doesnt
feel like treating people more friendly on a ubuntu ML than just
slapping them with a RTFM. plenty of people giving support here have a
more user friendly attitude which he isnt willing to adopt ...

again this is my own personal opinion i'm stating here as a long time
member of this mailing list, independently of my employer.

ciao
