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.

.install and .misc, if you must.

If you outlaw crossposts, you will get rid of most spam.
Filtering on phone numbers and addresses is not a reliable
method.

That brings up the topic of content-based censorship (as opposed
to spam, which is rejected due to it being repeated).

I quite agree. Susan's definitely a source of good bits.
