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.

right. .install and .nontech should be merged (comp.os.linux.debian), 
the destinction between them already not very clear. 

.announce has not enough traffic for a newsgroup of it's own, 
use c.o.l.announce instead. same for .changes, which are in
fact announcements.

.tech is right between debian-devel and debian-user. this
one should IMHO be a mailinglist, at least until the newsgroup
will overflow (which i'm sure will not happen for another year).

in the current form i would also have to vote against it, sorry.
keep it small and simple, start one newsgroup and look what
happens. if there is enough traffic, split it (and we will have
two!). do not start with 5 groups.
