The debian-private mailing list leak, part 1. Volunteers have complained about Blackmail. Lynchings. Character assassination. Defamation. Cyberbullying. Volunteers who gave many years of their lives are picked out at random for cruel social experiments. The former DPL's girlfriend Molly de Blanc is given volunteers to experiment on for her crazy talks. These volunteers never consented to be used like lab rats. We don't either. debian-private can no longer be a safe space for the cabal. Let these monsters have nowhere to hide. Volunteers are not disposable. We stand with the victims.

Craig,

It's /usr/bin/ae, and it's 23825 bytes, 23504 if I run strip (ld -s misses
a few bytes for some reason).

I agree that it's a horrible editor. It has the single virtue that anyone
can figure it out, unlike vi, ed, edlin. They only need it for as long as
it takes to install the editor they really want.

Yes - for the floppy installation space is _really_ tight.

	Thanks

	Bruce
