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.

What a waste of space - hardly worth it.

Again, what a waste of space - If I want the source I'll get it, I know
where it is.

>3. Make X-Windows, Emacs, and VI standard, not optional, parts of the system.

X-Windows:  Well, I *dont* want it on my router, or my server.  I don't use
Linux for personal entertainment, I use it for work purposes.  So, negative.

Emacs:  There goes installing Debian onto a router that has a 20 or 40meg
hard drive :-) - Negative.

Vi:  Well, finally he's got one thing right! :-)  However, it is a real
hardship for newbies - I remember when I started using it (because I didn't
know of any other editor) I just pressed all the keys on the keyboard until
I got into insert mode :-)  But, I'd againt have to say no to this - Ee is
way better and much more understandable (moreso than ae IMO).
