For me, the first hit on duckduckgo.com with search terms
automount "Richard Owlett" site:lists.debian.org
was your reply to that message.
I've never thought to use *my name* as a keyword when looking for
resolved issues.
Have you considered the reason why someone else would think to do such
a thing?
Some like to "pull my chain"
More seriously, I have a history {in their opinion ;} of repeating
questions. But in *my* world view they are not the same question.
Being past "three score and ...", I don't recall all past forays.

This is what I do, too. It's how I found out someone had created a fake Twitter account using my name, my images, and my bio information. The only change was their location was West Virginia, and they posted tweets that had a lot of *numbers* in them. My real Twitter is Studebaker. They called theirs "Studebarke". Twitter took it down within a couple hours of a request for them to do so. There is still an "Account suspended" fragment hanging around out there on their website. Please be safe out there. It's not the same World we were living in 20 years ago. Toward both the good and the bad, the Internet has played a large part in that change. :) Cindy :) -- Cindy-Sue Causey Talking Rock, Pickens County, Georgia, USA * runs with birdseed *

In some states "Owlett" has frequency approaching "Smith". On today's search I had to limit my search to debian.org to get useful results ;}
