In fact I did, although in a somewhat roundabout, "please imagine that I said something different if you think the idea is horrible" way. Most people imagined I said something different :-) FWIW the draft I wrote is at <http://henning.makholm.net/debian/dfsg-bis>, but I still have a pile of responses from the last time I pitched it that I have never had the time to work into it. -- Henning Makholm "I have seen men with a *fraction* of your trauma pray to their deity for death's release. And when death doesn't arrive immediately, they reject their deity and begin to beg to another." -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
