???? Sven, please: stick to the whole truth. They didn't kick you just for different opinions on software matters. One reason they did that was obviously the fact - if I'm not very much mistaken - that you were threatening one person physically: http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2006/03/msg00620.html And under such circumstances, Sven, in nearly every professional environment you would have had 5 minutes to pack. Maximum. So if you really want to talk about history, tell us just the whole truth. But I'd suggest - strongly suggest - to not stir up this old stuff again. I believe we've had this story much too often on this list.

I don't doubt that there are other lists being much more appropriate for certain issues than this one: But as there are, IINM, literally hundreds of mailing-lists it is always a good idea to firstly address - when it comes to powerpc related Debian issues - this precious, not so little powerpc list ... :) That was actually all I wanted to say in my previous posting: And sorry if the words I chose ("Wrong.") weren't as polite as they could have been ...
