Excellent reasoning and presentation Marco. I hope the listmasters
will finally fix this serious problem.

But just HOW do you fix this kind of problem on an *OPEN* list,
especially for a Debian Developer, that does the "sword" packages and
the cyrus-sasl2 package? (and others packages)

Come, lets here a solution, I've discussed some solutions, how about
you?

If folks were reasonable about it, they'd simply "take it off list"
on their own, as is done on many, many other lists. If there's a need
for enforced moderation, would that not be proof that these people have
indeed screwed things up?
