I haven't previously commented on the original question you raised, Dave!
But since you (indirectly) asked, I have no issue with the form of your original
question, did not think it was quibbling, and think the answer that you and
others suggested (post to announce.moc with FUT set to ot.clone) is eminently
workable and reasonable.
My issue is not with you or your question, Dave!
It rather is with the rabble rouser who latches onto a (small, if even a
controversy at all) controversy to try to make it into a larger one by
repeatedly making inflammatory statements. And we all know who that rabble
rouser is, as he's done it before here and elsewhere, and it's not you, Dave!
Hope that helps. If not, you know how to reach me via email, Dave!
