Oh, but you are mistaken, in two ways:
Involvement from IRCers as positive because they actually take part in this
service and know it better than someone that doesn't use it.
Involvement from anyone in Debian, even if they are no longer on IRC, is
positive because the issue here isn't about the exact number of fundraising
messages that get sent per day, but of a principle -- do we consider the
idea that some service admins can ask for money to keep doing what they and
others have been doing for free until now, justified and appropriate?
Oh, and I resent the fact that you accuse unnamed people of being
politicians, and then fail to provide actual arguments other than seemingly
non-controversial facts.
