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.

You are. *GRIN* Thanks for changing your sig!

Yes, it is.  But i still think that using a less obvious choice for the
seperator is better. The TODO list for the next release had that string
as wall, resulting in a three-fold split of that message with two parts
having no mail header.  "-------------------------" is often used in
ASCII texts as underline sequence for headings and the like.

If i remember correctly, the MIME standard has a defined method to generate
unique seperators.  I really think that we should use them.
