Why, no. Did I in any way intimate that he had?

Where was it, again, that I disagreed with anything at all? I don't
understand where you are coming from with your question. Did you read
someone else's post? Mine was short, to the point /and questioning/,
not disagreeing with anything.

And again, I didn't and haven't disagreed with anything in his post.
Where do you find disagreement? ...and why, since it obviously isn't
there?

I /did/ question his place to issue a call for testers /in the name of
Ubuntu/. His use of the word, "we," in his post surely indicates to
you, as it did to me, that he speaks for Ubuntu. I doubt that that's
the case, whether or not the /need/ is truly there, a point which
I /do not/ argue.
Can you now see that I did /not/ disagree with what he said, only
questioned his right, not to say it, but to phrase it in such a
way that it seemed to issue from the Ubu Powers That Be?
