I have no interested in a protracted flame war, but lest challenges to
my personal integrity to unanswered, I feel I must at least set the
record straight.

For the record, I have not called people "wankers", told them to
"fucking go away", insulted thein intelligence, or otherwise behaved
in such a manner unbecoming a member of Debian.

For the record, the claim that one may never resend private mail to
public lists without violating copyright is incorrect.

For the record, I did not resend mail because people wanted to see it,
but because they should be aware what shenanigans Craig is up to.
Most already are, but if people are disgusted what he writes, they
should tell him Debian developers should not write such things in
doing their Debian business.
