While many people in Debian might have some interest in these issues, they are not about Debian or about a Debian event in New York, so they are offtopic. There are other lists people can be on if they're interested in these issues, and this kind of cross-posting is considered poor netiquette. -- Eric Dorland <eric@kuroneko.ca> ICQ: #61138586, Jabber: hooty@jabber.com
