Can you give me a URL? Finding individual arguments in this thread is

Oops, sorry Steve; it sounded like something I wrote. s/I said/he
said/. I retract the incorrect attribution.

Oh c'mon. Just because I made a mistake doesn't mean that I'm
dishonest. After all, you are the one that said your package has "0
entries in popcon"[1], then tried to change it to "used"[2] once I had
shown you to be incorrect (knowing full well that "used" is a different
category in popcon), then said that I gave the "impression" that nobody
was installing your packages, even when my own figures showed some of
them were installed on 3% of the machines. This is being honest how.
