Dirk, 
 
I read the emails (and replied to you, I believe)... my question as to whether 
tob_0.14-4.deb would be removed from Debian download sights was sincere. Not 
being a Debian developer, I have no way of knowing that uploading tob_0.14-5 
implies tob_0.14-4 is "gone, vanished, nothing left".  That is why I asked.

> Are you happy ?

With tob_0.14-4 no longer available for download, I am happy. If I spend my 
time tracking down and reporting a bug that has the potential to wipe out 
someones system, and the response I get for doing so if there is a next time 
is to "chill out", I will not be happy.

This is good.

Ok, let's consider the issue closed.
