If that's the one I think it was, it's the researcher at a major university who found himself frustrated at trying to get unsubscribed from debian-user, which he announced loudly and widely. I don't think he'll do that again. Note that I posted both on list and off on that issue, including trying to see that they poor sod might keep his job (I wasn't the only person who'd written the University President). Unless it was the "lazy ignorant people" thread.... Don't get me wrong. I've got a fair bit of tolerance. But if someone needs to get the stuffing ripped out of 'em, I'll do it. Prefer just to leave the mess alone in most cases. > which reminds me..anyone seen ethan benson ? he used to participate a > lot on debian-user..haven't seen any posts from him since ive started > posting again.
