i'm sorry to hear you say that, steve.

i'm perfectly calm. i apologise for giving the impression that i'm
not. you may have mistaken the strength of the words for my emotional
state. i can assure you that the two are not linked.

it's not abuse: i'm asking - reasonably i believe - that discussion
of a device which has nothing to do with debian-arm software not be
discussed on debian-arm [and using strong words to emphasise that].
is that an unreasonable request, steve?
would you be willing to help out here in a positive way by helping to
assess whether there should be a list named e.g.
raspbian@lists.debian.org?
or - and this is an important consideration for debian - would such a
move be seen as endorsement of insidious proprietary practices and the
endorsement by the debian community of software patents and
endorsement of the practice of forcing people to choose between
"purchase of non-free software" and "not having the functionality they
thought they were paying for"?
etc. etc.
