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.

However, how many of them would read it if they are using the Official
images.

I'll make an image of the Stuff in Contrib+the Non-free stuff that can be
put on CD if people are willing to help me.  i.e. To set up a mirror, go
through non-free to see what can be put on CD.  I got the disk space, and
I may be able to finagle a Pentium II 266 (Me drooling :-) ) for the Linux
box in the next few weeks.  

So if anyone wants to help, I'm all for it, but I don't have time to do it
on my own.

Thanks,

Shaya
