What's next? Having an IRC bot that will randomly insult developers with open bugs in their packages, with the level of agression in the cursing controlled by severity. When VoIP becomes more popular, maybe harassment calls? I'm not as much opposed to having a list with "Developers with Potential QA Problems" as I should be, but I certainly think the URL and the description at the of the page are subobtimal in terms of polite communication. I'm not quite prepared to accept as fact that insulting people is the preferred way to improve Debian.help. Perhaps we might focus on the ranking numbers 100 to 500 and forget the top most because it is hard to automatically handle these.
Please explain your understanding of the relation of the words
a) help - as I wrote and
b) insult - as you interpreted my mail
Kind regards
