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.

Err, umm.  IMO that's silly of it, surely ?  What if it fails to
restart for some other reason ?  You may think that I'm just being
picky or something, but some day someone's going to have a real
problem which produces just as cryptic an error message (or no error
message at all).

Agreed.
