Why should he have to? At the same time that the release manager for the Debian project is practically begging you to stop, you and others are continuing to respond to threads which are egregiously OT. Just stop. Have some consideration for others. There's plenty of other places out there for discussions about the RIAA, religion, and even sponge burning. You (and others) are displaying monumental ignorance, not to mention arrogance, by not going there with discussions like that. Take it off list. I can point to solutions others might take to solve the problem too, but why should they have to? They're here to learn about Debian and Linux and FOSS. They're not here for bible study, US political discussions, or whatever else you may consider interesting that has nothing to do with Debian and FOSS in general. -- Any technology distinguishable from magic is insufficiently advanced.
