Well, you have to remember that this mailing list is not an "official"
fPTech method of communication.  We frequent here because we recognize
the value of this list.  If you don't like the "lack of transparency"
of contacting fPTech via private e-mail or telephone, then why not use
an "official" public forum, like fptechforum.com?

And I doubt that there are many companies out there with a special "how
are we going to treat platform crossgrades from SCO any differently if
SCO should go under" public policies yet.
