As I wrote before, I wasn't personally offended by it, but I've seen 
enough people on this list recently being (what I consider) unreasonably 
thin-skinned that I was fairly sure that somebody was going to find it 
offensive.  I also know full well that if the OP was, in fact, trying to 
be insulting he wouldn't care when I pointed it out, but if it was 
accidental my comment might be all that was needed to avoid further 
incidents.

And, yes, in this case, the question wasn't F17 specific, just phrased 
that way and in any event, I don't mind the occasional question of that 
nature although I rarely if ever have anything to contribute to such 
discussions.  The whole point of my post, in fact, was to point out that 
we're getting more questions about the next Fedora release than we 
usually do and to wonder why.  Any thoughts about that?
