[Advocacy] Re: [Vorbis] Me, the grouser?

[Oscar Sundbom]

Hi.

I've been reading the Vorbis list for years and I can't recall you ever 
being unjust or trying to put down
the efforts of Xiph. In this case you tried to check how you were 
percieved without getting confrontational
nor naming the private e-mailer.

Regards,
Oscar
