Right. I'm sorry. I thought it was a joke. He even signed his name "Bill G". If I were constructing a lame troll for a Debian mailing list, I imagine "billg" would make my top 5.
Only when I saw that he had attempted to clarify/edit his message and cross-posted on debian-user did I realize he is serious, and must in fact write that way normally.
Sorry Bill. dircha
