I took this as the approval of the fact that you (Sam Hocevar) created this site. I am wondering if Sam Hocevar is a real black person trying to be funny and offensive like Richard Pryor (a black comedian who often used offensive word "nigger"). If so, I think you are failing badly. Otherwise, all I can say is that I am appalled. Well, since this discussion is about DPL, my question to Sam Hocevar is: * Do you think this kind of communication is the effective way to get thing going as DPL if you get elected? * Do you think your representation of DPL with such behaviour helps Debian? I am not asking your (Sam Hocevar's) belief nor your racial association. I am asking your assessment of your ability to be the DPL to help Debian with respect to your past deeds and your intended deeds. Regards, Osamu
