Well, if you are tired of 'em, why keep you asking for 'em? *wonders*

Yes, that's right. Noone in debian is claiming the copyright on your
mails?

Yes, you're still right - Debian doesn't claim the copyright for your
mails?

Uhm, that's the point where you are not right. By mailing to a
debian-mailinglist you implicitly agree that your mail might be
archived. We are sorry that you didn't notice that by the fact that
there are archives available. Rephrasing of the pages that this is more
obvious are worked on. Still the fact that we are rephrasing the pages
doesn't mean that we've done something wrong. It was never a secret
that the messages are archived, and if you would have taken a look at
the link I offered you you would have noticed that the archives are
mentioned next to the subscription instructions. Again, don't blame
Debian for your ignorance of that fact.

Uhm, Debian is no commercial distribution, we are not indexing via
commercial institutes, no matter what you claim. And if you read the
constitution of debian it's not about privacy at all.

A truly open community, I would say.

The copyright issue doesn't apply here, as you have been informed
several times yet.

I don't see any reason at all for that.

Then stop posting to debian-mailinglists for that's the only way you
can go. Even though you have been notified of the fact (now even
directly) you keep mailing to the lists so it's up to you.

opinion, but I might claim the feeling that they are shared by others
in the project, too]
