I'd felt disinclined to contribute to this inane thread, but seeing a post that does less than dismiss this idiocy out of hand, prompts me to point out that the challenger (who hides behind a psuedonym BTW) doesn't point to his list of contributions to the project, but instead simply bitchs about stuff in which he demonstrates minimal understanding and declines to propose any solution other than removal of one of the projects demonstrably productive resources. > >On the otherhand perhaps a distribution like Debian needs to have a >registered list of users who wants to vote on policy matters.
