This is one of the more moronic views of free software. No, I
am not into providing customer service (if you want customer service
from me, ask off-list for my rates). I am into Debian in a
collaborative effort to create the best distribution of Linux ever.
So I am not going to ask how high when a putative "customer"
says jump. If you are meeting me halfway in improving free software,
life is too short to beg and wheedle you to buy-in into Debian.

Hell, at my going rates for providing service to custoers,
I'll send mail from wherever the customer tells me to. Want to know
where to sign up?

So please, please, please, go the hell back to the real world,
and leave s free software dreamers in our fantasy world.

I am not a service provider to sit-on-their-0fat-butt suers --
I am involved in a collaborative creative effort, and if you do not
want to participate, please butt right back out.
