It's not as though this represents any particularly novel contribution to the Debian discourse. I'm not sure if I think the original message *should* be removed as spam. In some sense, these mails having made their way to the list, it's more honest to keep them in the archive as an accurate record of Debian's (sometimes checkered) discussion history. I'm much more interested in seeing such mails prevented from making it through in the future than in trying to scrub the past. -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world.
