Re: Technical committee acting in gross violation of the Debian constitution
It took me time to realize why writing the below didn't feel right in
some uneasy way. That's because, allthough being logically completely
correct (I boldly assert here...), what I wrote below completely misses
the essence and is therefor just bullshit, which we can have a good
laugh about. And that actually *does* expresses the essence: we _should_
be laughing!
So, dear Josselin, sorry for confronting you with that nonsense, I hope
you can chuckle about it gleefully!
