I find this strange, given that not too long ago you categorized the participants of debian-legal as "wankers". http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2008/12/msg00174.html Joss' messages can be understood as pretty bad humor. Was your message above also meant as a joke? Or do you need to let of some steam here, because such behaviour is unacceptable on Ubuntu lists?
