Your other email on the topic said this:

Which also fails to explain why the Debian project is

Since they choose to only spend their time dealing with people
who are either in the area or are committed enough to spend the
money? Since they do not want to face the Spam? Since when does the
Project decide to dictate business plans? And why is the project
discriminating against business plans? Who made this decision?

Liking a policy, since one has spent eons of time crafting
one, is to be expected. Defending it it willynilly despite flaws is
silly. Flaming people pointing them out is idiotic.
I can't help it if you spent years or months or whatever
coming up with a policy which, in my opinion, is flawed. The
time you spent lovingly crafting it is not interesting, fix the
darned thing already.
