Re: debiantutorials.org seeks input and new blood
In a way the OP is spamming the list, but really ...
Is is etiquette to be so nasty about it?
He is clearly a private citizen with a desire to comtribute. That his
attempts fall short of your standards, merely indicates that his request
is justified. I also find a dynamically changing clock a visual toxin.
For me, the blinking of my cursor is enough animation on my computer
screen.
Concerns about his privacy policy really can't be addressed by insisting
that he state it on his web site. How do we know he is not a manufactured
entity designed by <whisper> Al Qaeda </whisper>? Would a stated privacy
policy protect you from "the evil one"? As that great urban philosopher,
Rodney King, once said, "Can't we all just get along?"
Peace.
