I don't remember it such, i remember frans accusing me of negligence and
misconduct because i did give a (maybe a bit uninformed) advice to a powerpc
user.

Oh, thanks. so you also believe that the removal of my d-i commit rights was

Could you please explain this in the open, and not in this cabal like fasion ?
