I am indeed not implied in GNOME marketing and have no real marketing
experience, that's why I don't participate in real discussions.

I also don't care the email client you use even if I agree that sending an
email to journalists from such client may look funny to the few
percentage of journalist who are technical enough to notice it.

I was however surprised to see such public statements against one of
GNOME products from someone who reminded the day before that he had
offered to be a representative of GNOME for the press.

I was quite shocked and wanted to tell it...

Do you think you can manage what journalists will say about GNOME
while at the same time spreading such things on the Internet, that
they may read ?
