The debian-private mailing list leak, part 1. Volunteers have complained about Blackmail. Lynchings. Character assassination. Defamation. Cyberbullying. Volunteers who gave many years of their lives are picked out at random for cruel social experiments. The former DPL's girlfriend Molly de Blanc is given volunteers to experiment on for her crazy talks. These volunteers never consented to be used like lab rats. We don't either. debian-private can no longer be a safe space for the cabal. Let these monsters have nowhere to hide. Volunteers are not disposable. We stand with the victims.

Bruce FTP master can run from a 24meg Sun3 jeez give the machine 
something to do for its life. I really hate to think that my 1000$ for a 
drive to save this machine from its death pays off here because I know 
for a fact that it is not too late to get my drive back. :) 

Bruce please go back to my original message I already plan on doing this. 
Please don't go out and pull the plug on me anymore ftp administration is 
automated. There is nothing to do there web maintenance is all I am 
really doing. Besides as Carl Streeter said he uses 42megs of ram with 
his update script which is not a problem on this machine besides all of 
the work to make it run is finally about finished from here jeez take a 
load off the people that didn't know about the move and let it rest for a 
while. If you pull web then once again you might as well pull the plug 
on the machine. Jeez I need something to do. :) (sarcasm intended)

Anyway what I asked for in my first mail message was for ftp2.debian.org 
be pointed to my site in kansas. I will run ftp2.debian.org and 
ftp2.debian.org as an httpd server. Heck for that matter I ask for 
www2.debian.org (You know this would be much easier if someone was 
running DNS that was on this list!) Bruce I don't see it a problem to run 
it the way I said. This ensures that someone can make sure the interface 
works correctly. and besides if the other WEB sites are not running a 
properly configured NETSCAPE server then the web pages are almost useless 
to them in the way CGI's are run..... Apache and NCSA and CERN can not 
handle cgi's the same way as netscape. 

PS.... would someone try some pings and flood pings to ftp.microworld.net 
and tell me what they get for response times..?

BDALE!!!! I NEED A PASSWORD!!! :)
