Err, I've never seen any ftpmaster act like that. Evidence to the
contrary will be scrutinized, but I guess you won't be able to come up
with any.

Thanks for the compliment. And for the good (ahem) example you're
showing here.

Which is a pity, because it's only a (very vocal) minority which is a
bunch of jerks.

Are you suggesting we should allow everyone who wants it to have
effective root on all Debian installations out there?

For reference, the SCO thing was a joke. The fact that you think we
really believe that makes it clear how less you understand.
Ideas to improve Debian are, and have always been, welcome. But telling
