I do recall them speaking up on this list. I do recall them having enough 
interest in Sounder to set up their own alternative when Canonical let 
them down.
You're right, they didn't show up at some Canonical-planned meeting on an 
entirely different medium, but that doesn't say anything about their 
interest.

Again, they did speak up.
If you claim that they didn't, then you're the one spreading lies.
