No, it's that people kept on refusing to answer simple questions, and
after a bit of that, they said they had already answered them (when
they in fact had not), and now they complain that it's a "thread
reset" to continue to ask the questions.
Look, if the position is that ndiswrapper is, at present, only useful
with non-free software, but it should, even so, be in Debian main, I'm
prepared to entertain that possibility. But I can't even figure out
what you *are* saying, because everytime I ask, people start getting
cagey.
