Björn, no need to assume that I shouldn't take you at your word when you say
you had nothing to do with the Unity decision ; if you joined Canonical
later, you certainly can't be held responsible. Nor did I assume that you
were runnning as a representative of your employer, but based on  your
mention of the fact that you (now) work for Canonical, I did in fact have
some questions regarding your attitude towards relations with the wider user
community. These questions have now been resolved to my satisfaction ; thank
you for doing so....

Henri
