   gnu.misc.discuss     Serious discussion about GNU and freed software.

   This does not demand that list participants are members of the GNU
   project and speak for it.  So please don't pretend otherwise.

Nobody demanded anything.  People reading this list read it because it
is about GNU and free software, not because it is about open source
software.

May I suggest
