  Okay, I've just signed up for [debian-project].  I'm in a bit of a
  rush at the moment, but will respond tomorrow.
 
 I'll send another email later, when I have more time, to explain how
 I feel about email pre-notifications for other emails.  The short
 version: everyone should do those, it's quite helpful to get some
 advance notice when someone is planning to post an email with content.
 Then we can be on the lookout for it.

please remind me to send out an email later today to tell you how i look
forward to reading the longer version. debian-curiosa doesn't get enough
laughs, so there better be some meat in it (tofu for vegetarians).

  Sid broke toys.  Unstable is where developers break their toys in Debian.
  Lotso didn't break toys himself, he just put them in places where toddlers
  destroyed toys.  Not quite the same thing.
 Maybe moving sid repository, while change it's name to lotso,
 on a google instance site, will state it in foo-bear situation

sid is the repo, packages are the toys. packages get uploaded by devs,
and placed into the repo by ftp-master. packages get broken in the repo.
who placed them there? ftp-master

hence:

ftp-master is lotso!

  Bananas - proprietary trial ware, suffers from rapid bit-rot,
 the quick banana bitrot process could be lengthened and improved 

i'd like to object to the notion that bananas bit-rot rapidly. on the
contrary, bananas can still be consumed when the peel starts to turn
black. in fact the longer you wait the sweeter they get. bit-rot does
not even set in until after those black spots appear. at that point
however bit-rot happens at the same speed as with most products.

the common perception of banana bit-rot is skewed by supermarkets
exclusively serving alpha and beta quality products that require the
user to wait until the product has reached maturity. most users consume
bananas prematurely and are thus not aware of how a mature banana is
supposed to taste like.

 in an Apple environment, it is still out of reach for most of its
 regular users.

again i disagree, FruitSalad(TM) has made the combination of apple and
banana accessible to the every day user. in fact, compared to all other
components apple and banana are the most common.

greetings, martin (who only buys matured bananas).

 Has anyone brought up the fact that that communities of high-octane

i don't think that's abnormal, the definitions of geek[*] seems to be
a subset (if not the same set) of the symptoms for asberger syndrome.

 I've seen several flame wars on debian
 lists where it looked to me that one party didn't fully grasp that
 the other was a bit autistic.

you don't even need to go that far, it would be enough if one party
lacks the social skills (and only the social skills (which would not be
enough to diagnose them of asberger syndrome)) to communicate, while the
other party does not grasp that the one lacks these skills.

and if you consider the ability to avoid a flamewar a social skill then
both parties lack that skill.

i also find the definition of asberger syndrome so subtle that i would
be surprised if anyone was able to recognize that in someone else.

[*] note that i reject the terms geek and nerd as derogatory and refuse
to accept that label or apply it to anyone.

greetings, martin.

freedom of speech is the right to publish your opinion, but not a right
to be listened to. 
censoring is an act of preventing publication. 
ignoring is an act of not listening.

maybe you should consult a dictionary.

 thanks everyone (or not?) for joining in the last thread.  I wanted to
 make the point that asking not to have a flamewar is a good way to start
 one, and I can see it was somehow successful.

hmm, the problem with that is, that on curiosa things likely work
curiously different, so your point may not carry much weight. (but the
fun value should be considerable)

how about now trying to figure out how to stop it?

greetings, martin.
ps: i apologize for the off topic mail (there is nothing curious in this one)

 You can not tell us, voulunteers, what to do!

i would be inclined to point out that enrico is merely making a polite
request, as is common in the free software community. he is not telling
you what to do. 

however, pointing that out could be construed as flaming you, and as i
have already had the opportunity to meet enrico in person, and found
that he is a nice guy, i prefer follow his request and avoid dragging this
into a flamewar, by not writing this message.

you are not reading this...
