That's a shame. It's very enlightening to know that in respect of recent events. However, we're not your teacher nor any avatar representing him, and you are not free to take out your inner anger on us. > There are a very few people on the Debian list who sincerely try to > help.

I do see people who occasionally demand stuff, don't get it, get on their soapboxes, and get chewed out for it. > I spent the last week thinking about it.

Horsefeathers. If you want "Good morning Mr Edwards, how we be of service today?" I suggest you get your chequebook out and buy a service contract with a reputable vendor. Here's the deal. You screwed up. You refused to admit that you'd screwed up, even though people showed you how you'd screwed up, and how to fix it. You complained that your broken mail setup broke things, and because the Apache people don't mind spam on their list, we shouldn't either. You were told what the problem is and what you had to do to fix it. I'm frankly astounded by your response. You come to a free project run by **volunteers**, abuse them, and wonder why the response is less than the milk of human kindness? > I can assure you that you and Debian won't be missed.

This isn't so, it's been shown to be not so, but you persist in your mischaracterisation of the members of this list and the Debian project as a whole. Why? > What a joke. The joke is the reputation that you have built for yourself here, in front of the thousands of subscribers to this list, one of whom might be your next customer.
