It was, same as this message, a posting to the _whole_ mailinglist. (which means don't take it personal) IMNSHO not everyone on this list knows exactly what Debian is. (Please don't take the possible flame bait) I think most people on this list knows exactly what Debian is, and how somebody can. Yes, that means I could have insult most people here when I wrote: Debian is more packaging. I felt the urch to address the wannabee Debian Developers. I see many RFSs here, most of then answered by non DDs. But, yes, I could be wrong about the precentage of newbies here. What I hope to accomplish with the posting in this RFS thread, is less RFS postings or at least other RFS postings. Postings like: | Hi, | | A posting on the foobar mailinglist did not get a Debian sponser, | The repost is meanwhile two weeks old, so now I ask here | for a sponsor to get foobar in the Debian archive. | Goodday Mates, | | After several postings on the debian-firewall mailinglist, | I now ask here for a sponsor of the fw-foobar package <warning about="flame bait"> | Hello. | | I have no idea how many people here have interrest in games, | but I'm looking for a sponsor for these packed games. | ( Sponsoring a single game would also help ;- ) </warning> > > regards > fEnIo Sorry Cheers Geert Stappers Invulenced by http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
