Perhaps. But doing the very same thing on one package but refusing to
do it onto another causes a question. I would consider it polite
if those question could be answered with a short sentence. I did not
even ask ftpmaster to do something but just to drop a not if there is
a problem on my side. I just tried to be helpful.

Sorry, I fail to see a relation to the question.

This would be enough. I even can cope with quite rude answers and I
think I are even capable to keep my politeness. And I repeat once
more: The job which might have been done (which I think in my complete
ignorance of facts and complete lack of knowledge) would have spend
less time than answering a mail with some words.

I tried to keep this in mind every time but the behaviour in this
actual case seems to be a logical contradiction. Logical contradictions
don't let me sleepo well, sorry.

Good news - it's fine for me.

Its perfectly all right for me if you or others think that some people
are whining. I try to avoid such offends in my mails.
Kind regards
