I want to follow drumbeat.
Hi Matt,
Blake Winton (Mozilla Thunderbird crew) suggested I get in touch w.r.t. P2PU, but your Twitter account doesn’t allow DMs, and I can’t find a contact email address for you on this blog. Could you please give me a shout?
Thanks,
Greg Wilson
Hi, Greg. Good point — now fixed above. Thanks! Please let me know how I can help. Just spent some time on your site — you’d obviously be a huge asset for P2PU.
