Well, it seems to me like you're implying there would be
people@debian.org that would be so lame that they would not know the
difference between criticizing what can be very easily criticized (i.e., this
infamous IIS server) and directly attacking someone like a script kiddie
would do. Frankly, I expect more of my fellow developers, and I think
you should, too.
Also, it is amazing that pretty much no one else has showed disapproval
of this. Come on, people, there is no way in the world you can convince
yourselves logically that it is okay to host a registration form in an
IIS server because "we" were given money. I believe principles are more
important than money.
Just my $0.02.
