Interesting, and thanks for the URL. My position FWIW is that the delegate idea merits consideration, for such an individual(s) in charge of the Debian Project Web site, FTP, OR the e-mail lists. I don't think accountability hinders, it helps with transparency. I used "FWIW" as I'm not a Debian developer, merely a satisfied user. That shouldn't matter though eh ? ;) P.S. The delayed response is due to the org e-mail being stuck in my mailq since the 27th. :( -- Regards Stephen +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
