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.

Re: RFD: herding cats [was: on project leadership]

Hi,
	I am missing something. How is the tags solution any different
 from threading on subject (and references, if you have a smart enough
 mail user agent).

	If you have a smart MUA, TAGS don't buy you anything extra
 vis-a-vis threading. If you are stuck with a simplistic mail reader,
 (which can't thread on subject), TAGS don't buy yuo anything either. 

	I'm now leaning forward to common prefixes:
 debian-thread-NAME1 or better, dthread-NAME1 (split into different
 spool files based on NAME?). That'd would work. (I love mailagent: I
 can just annotate the message, pass it through regular debian rules,
 and save to a spool file determined by the annotation).

	manoj

 (I never loose track of the threads, I have auto-expiry turned off
 for debian groups, and can go back and forth in the thread, following
 both the subject line and the reference headers; but I have a smart
 MUA.  Really, folks, try gnus; it wrks quite well)
