Ah well. A YALM indeed - nothing that we haven't read elsewhere. Along
with that YAF of his - the world's indeed been waiting for his new
forums, blogs and magazines.

Well "nichtwissen schütz vor ... nicht", as the principle goes, but
basically, I would prefer the embrace-and-expand approach over the
hit-him-over-the-head version as well.

So (as a wild thought) why not ask him to run the "official" Blog web
site for our LoCo team? Of course - only after he's shown some insight
and understanding what Ubuntu is all about, and this of course MUST
include removing any advertising and Paypal nonsense from that site.
Plus that he adheres strictly to good privacy protection rules as far as
user logins and e-mail addresses are required.

I do know that trolls are best dealt with by ignoring them - but that
can always come after we'd offer him an outstretched hand. Should he be
trolling, we can still let him have it.

Agreed. Let's invite him to the party!

Best regards
