I don't know; however, I'm not sure the offer for a donation was sincere. There are quite a number of people requesting "Link Exchanges" all the time on -www (presumably to falsifyingly increase their Google PageRank). Debian does not do this, for very good reasons, and most such requests aren't even answered anymore. Recently, people have started to offer donations in exchange for links on our site. From the tone of those mails, and the sudden silence on receival of the rejection to list a "backlink", which happens almost every time, I'm afraid most of these prospect donators are really only interested in the backlink rather than in the donation. Of course, there may be exceptions; but I don't think we should go after him and remind him of his offer, or anything. -- The amount of time between slipping on the peel and landing on the pavement is precisely one bananosecond -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
