The only abuse that has happened here was when you forwarded a private conversation to the mailing list. This is considered very impolite and doing so repeatedly may get you kicked from the list. > Given his behaviour, though, it has left a sour taste in my mouth > about contributing to GNU projects at all, if this is the kind of > response I get - unsolicited criticism of projects irrelevant to the > subject at hand. Please keep this from the mailing list. You received, in private email, some (in my opinion very polite) criticsm about your personal web pages. That does clearly not belong here at all. Sven
