This is true, and I apologize. But you might want to look at my thread,
"updates." All of my thoughts and suggestions were immediately met with
what I felt was contempt and argument (not all of them of course), and
the tone from Mr. Spelata was what I would describe as abrasive and
insulting. It is definitely a RH decision what happens with RHN, but the
fact remains, no one from RH even responded to my question which was
directly associated to RHN. 

Red Hats' efforts to make the RHL project a community effort may not go
to far if people are not more receptive to new ideas. It seems new
contributors have a hard time getting into the fold, especially if our
ideas don't follow the "norm." At this point, I don't really feel like
my thoughts and opinions are welcome on this list or in the RHLP.
