I'll try to address a question of principle here; I don't want this to be interpreted as making a comment on any individual's conduct. I think that mfk's request for information (quoted) was addressed to ajt as an ftpmaster, not as a private person. With a position of responsibility come, erm, responsibilities. This goes as much for the position of package maintainer as it does for the position of ftpmaster. That Debian is a volunteer project does not change that. Also, the fact that some people make the fulfilment of one's duties unpleasant does not absolve him of his responsibilities. Because Debian is a volunteer project it is always possible to shed responsibility, but the way to do it is to resign one's position. -- Thomas Hood -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
