In lieu of the apology I'll post links to the emails from which I took
those quotes, so all interested can see their context in the email and
in the thread:

http://lists.svlug.org/archives/svlug/2016-July/062102.html : Rick's
quotes about gratuitous drama and lack of merit

http://lists.svlug.org/archives/svlug/2016-July/062085.html : Rick's
quote about Devuan being an "Operatic overreaction"

Anyone interested in the thread as a whole can sort by subject or
thread.
