Tommy Tolson, have you considered asking for help here in the Trisquel
*forums*?
Free software projects are about community engagement and preservation of the
users' essential freedoms.
Of course we could all go around saying unpleasant things or bragging about
something, but that doesn't help much, both you and the community.
Last, but not least, if you got mail-bombed by the list, perhaps you could
have seem the apologies made by the list maintainer, because he really feels
sorry for the inconvenience, so sorry that he wrote that apology
*beforehand*.
