I believe Steve's volunteer work to be worth more than your volunteer
work. Now, you're welcome to point out that I'm guilty of hypocrisy
here, since I complained about your abuse of volunteers. But you've done
so while continuing to expect them to provide you with useful services,
whereas I expect nothing useful from you whatsoever.
There is a line at which someone who is volunteering their time and
effor is doing so in such a way that they take up more of other people's
time than they save. You've crossed that line, and you show no signs
whatsoever of wanting to get back on the correct side of it. As a
project, Debian owes you nothing. If you're not going to make a
sufficiently useful contribution to outweigh your character flaws, then
it's better for you to make no contribution whatsoever.
Unless you're a FPAV fan, please don't Cc: me.
