You pacifist attitude makes flamewars no fun. Maybe we should just
use you as mitigator whenever things grow hot...

Hey G, The correct place to post things like that is debian-curiosa.

In fact I would not be posting this to -policy, except to be sure that you 
see this.

Anyway. Do your really want to date a 25 y.o. girl who apparently goes by 
the screenname
drdmp (Dr. Dump)?

As a side note, see last paragraph of the Debian creation announce at

Maybe the implementation of the - now removed - "arbitrary code

Hmm... I think Debian failed.

The first item: "Debian will be sleeker and slimmer.  No more multiple 
binaries and manpages."

Debian seems to have hundreds of obscure packages that virtually nobody ever 
uses. I suspect
that keeps it from being thin.
