[Savannah-hackers] Re: posting

[David Sugar]

I do not nessisarly disagree with this opinion at all.  But it was much better 
having it come from you than me.  And I do tend to agree it would not be good 
to handle any such request simply because if one starts doing that, there 
could be potentially so very many :).  It also may be true I am not as good 
at simply turning down requests as I should be.  But mostly I had wished to 
educate myself as to what policy existed on Savannah in this area and why.
