1) Is this a technical issue? Couldn't you blog/tweet about this? Or
discuss it on the non-technical list that was created after the
lists.ubuntu.com non-technical one was shut down?

2) If you're being moderated, your message has been let through.

3) debian-multimedia was forced to change to deb-multimedia by Debian
(and Debian wasn't THAT happy about the new domain name because of the
"deb") so it's unsurprising that Ubuntu/Canonical would react to
fixubuntu's use of the Ubuntu logo and the fixubuntu name. The guy
could've just put the same info on his own micahflee website but he
has an anti-Ubuntu/Canonical agenda (and no understanding of the
concept of live and let live). Ubuntu/Canonical have every right to
defend themselves and their logo and name.

4) The fixubuntu info's good (in 13.10, "gsettings set
com.canonical.Unity.Lenses remote-content-search none" can be changed
via the "security and privacy" applet) but "fix Ubuntu" is a misnomer
and a misuse of "Ubuntu".
