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.

So ? The only reason why I want to buy such a machine is to make it
available to all Debian developers. If I'm ever lucky in those auctions,
I'll be paying for it out of my  own pocket. 
If you give me the money, I am very willing to spend $20k to get one of
those 500Mhz Alphas. 

I'd love to put an alpha, a sparc and a mips box beside master.
