Ok, but then if you post an "agressive" message, then please tell
it in the mail header (cf: Lars's long mail 10 minutes ago). _(;
Also, remember that many people here are NOT native English speakers,
and therefore don't always get Ze nuances of some messages. Many things
that are evident for a native speaker might not be for non natives... _(;

Ok, I _do_ volunteer to do it if people agree with this proposition!
Hint: Let's learn from our previous mistakes: If you do agree, please
send me (by private mail) a fine "Me too, I agree" message, so I can see if
there are really people interested. If you do not agree, use the usual
method: flame me publicaly on all of debian's mailing lists. _(;
Please note, that I'm a bit in the same situation than Lars':
I work from 8h/18h for the army, 19h/22h for an internet provider, and
22h/++ for Debian. But since I'm concerned by the problem and that nobody
seems to want to do it, I will take care of this. I do want a nice Debian
1.3 even if this requires less sleep.
Cordialement,
