I appreciate you taking up that there will be other people with heart problems: that was my intention to open up the discussion, as requested, to other health matters beyond just a COVID policy. it is therefore truly ironic that the very same heart health condition leaves me vulnerable even when discussing a debian health policy *online* - the implication being that the *online* environment is at present unsafe and in need of oversight. can I kindly ask that further discussion on this topic be suspended pending that list removal: I do not wish to be exposed to risk of another heart attack caused by accidental confrontational assumptions or catastrophic mis-reading of postings resulting in aggressive or derisive public responses. if the list administrator can be contacted by any other means in order to effect my request immediately please could someone kindly action that. I'm just... so disappointed to have to withdraw from unsafe interaction with even more people when a Cardiologist has told me that if my heart condition does not improve I will need a transplant. surreal. -- --- geometry: without it life is pointless the fibonacci series: easy as 1 1 2 3
