It's your right to have such an opinion, but it's not the question at hand. The point I raised is: is it appropriate to assume that a fellow maintainer is "braindead" or "stupid", or rather assume that he made an honest mistake? Is it appropriate to use terms like "fucking" and "damn" on a wide audience mailinglist, or could you send them a polite message if you don't agree with their way of configuring their lists? I'm pretty sure which path I'd take, and I'm also pretty sure which path would be best to improve the atmosphere between Debian developers. Thijs
