Well then:

Three cheers for Steve McIntyre, former Debian Project Leader, carer of
Debian boot capabilities including the inavoidable cooperation with
Microsoft to get Debian working on Secure Boot EFI, and one of the most
influencial users of my own contribution to the free software world.

Also he is one of the people who were addressed by the previous title
of this thread: "moderators, I would appreciate if you could interfer".
So giving him back-talk in respect to list rules and conventions seems
somewhat like asking for a demonstration of his authority.


Have a nice day :)
