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.

True, but then you don't need any.

Nope. They allow you to easily pick just the interesting stuff out of a  
lot of mail - a lot more easily than if you had to rely on normal subjects  
only. (Of course, this assumes wisely chosen tags.)

Well, it wouldn't do anything for me. As I already said, I rely on  
different addresses for different lists.

Of course, I've also got threading if people use non-braindamaged mail  
readers (that is, those that generate threading info).

I've generally got mailing lists on 100 day auto expiry - that's where the  
disk space begins to hurt.

Or any other MUA that understands threading.
