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.

Funny, I thought that was what I was doing *and* I was attacked.  :-)

Despite my evidently harsh comments about whining, I had several
technical comments that people seem to have missed.  Since that is the
case, I will rephrase them in the politically correct manner.

 * While we should support everyone, we should optimize for the common
   case.

 * The technical complaint I was responding too was not as severe as
   described -- functionality exists to avoid the problem.

 * Tables are ignored in lynx.  Check out the top page of
   http://www.pathname.com/enya/ for an example.  It looks good in
   Netscape as well as lynx, even with the table.

 * If you are concerned about lynx or other out-of-date web browsers
   that can't support tables or easy browsing, there is room for a
   lynx area on the web pages.  In fact, I think it would be a good
   idea.

By the way, in future mailings, I will use such phrases as "excessive
complaining without intent to directly improve the situation" instead
of "whining".  :-)

(Now, let's see if I get flamed again for this.)
