Thanks my friend  i am sure we know that  and the whole history behind it  .

i dont think anybody have a bad intention or bad conduct  , please send me
the code of conduct that suites your needs to sign it for you i will be more
then glad to to follow up ur personal rules

I have avoided negative feedback for the sake of avoiding silly
> confrontations. I urge all to do the same.



u already did my friend we i never saw anybody replying on anything unless
he want to be negative or denial

finally thank you very much for all your care and opinion i am very glad to
hear all that .

my friend i want you just to take a look on a simple LUG anywhere outside
Lebanon and tell me your opinion . a simple idea take a look on the Ubuntu
LOCO Teams infrastructure yes the teams are small but the procedure and the
idea are every big .

sorry if i were a little bit offensive but guys when we will learn to
respect each others and the idea of others nobody is working for his sake
here and nobody can do it , people here are trying to work for the sake of
this community nothing else  i am sure nothing else .

Regards
