I agree that this is a problem.  Mike, please stop discouraging serious
software engineers (and others) from working on Debian with your rude and
insulting posts to this list.

For whom are you speaking?  I don't see any other "experienced software
engineers" that have elected you as their spokesman, so you must be
referring to yourself.  Maybe you are an experienced software engineer, I
wouldn't know; I haven't seen you contribute any software to Debian, just a
whole lot of hot air.  Which puts you squarely in the category of people who
don't contribute anything of substance to Debian, but will tell everyone how
we should change Debian so that you *will* be willing to contribute and be
our savior.

Well, nuts to you, Mike, you're a jerk, why in the world would anyone want
to encourage *you* to be more "involved" in Debian anyway?
