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.

This is not a dig at anyone, but I thought the following rough timing
data was quite amusing:

   man date (reformatting manpage)      4.52 secs
   man date (cached copy)               0.10 secs
   netscape (uncached)                 16.00 secs
   netscape (from disc cache)           4.60 secs
   date --help                          0.01 secs

I know that this is by no means the full story, and that if you
already have a netscape running then things are a little different. It
made me smile, that's all.  :)


On a separate, more serious note:

debian-private has been seeing a non-trivial amount of traffic
recently.  Whilst I appreciate the seriousness of it, it would be nice
to keep policy discussions on debian-devel where this is appropriate.
I think Lars made this same point a little early.
