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.

Oppression of minorities foments revolutions.  Reconsider your
arrogance.  I.e., I don't appreciate the above sentiments.

Very true.  The only problem with lynx (my main browser) is when there
are dozens of links and you want one of the ones in the middle.

>From a design point of view I prefer spaced out (Table of Contents
like) headers (see http://www.netaxs.com/~cjf).  I think this looks
better in both lynx and graphical web browsers.  I find the short
headers annoying even in graphical web browsers because there isn't
enough content to determine what's behind door #3.  Arrrgh!  [Can you
sense my frustration at this common misdesign? :) ]  This strategy also
works better when the page is printed.  All web pages should be
designed to look good when printed!
