The usual place is
<http://http.us.debian.org/debian/dists/potato/main/disks-powerpc>, as
I have said on almost every post related to boot floppies until fairly
recently, and is documented in a couple thousand places.

I object to your tone. Bear in mind that we are a project of
volunteers. Sniping at us gets you nothing but crossfire.

I have no objection to saying it to everyone. If I was going to answer
you at all I would CC it to the list. But everyone that replies to you
gets a bounce message. That is obnoxious and exceptionally bad
etiquette.

No, some sort of valid - private or otherwise - email address is the
unwritten rule of posting to any mailing list or sending mail to any
individual.

And for once in my life, I will not forgive you the ranting. Show a
little courtesy, or I'm sure I wouldn't be the only one to just not
bother answering you any more.
