There's pages in the mail archives where only people with certain names
can appear.  For that matter, newer developers can't show up on the
historical pages.  Discrimination, I tell you!

But what's really scary is that there's five of them!  They're taking
over, I tell you.  There's only a few hundreds of males, so us males
have to watch out, or they'll DO STUFF.  Like, um, put up a web page
that won't have us on it.  I quake in fear at the thought.

Discrimination by exclusion from a web page is truly a horrid practice.
We must do everything we can to stomp out this nasty practice.  I demand
that all debian pages be replaced by unauthenticated wiki (and, of
course, I'm not volunteering to do anything to make that happen --
any right minded person would see how correct this course of action is).

[For those without a sense of humor or without a good grasp of english:
I disagree with what I advocate above.  However I think that these
ideas, while perhaps overdone, are consistent with the idea of "web page
discrimination" being presented in this thread.]
