Thanks Thibaut!

Personally, I'd just delete anything related to "owners" from the
website. I'm willing to do that if there are no objections. Initially
it was useful to know who had particular HW. Now we can just post here
to ask if someone can please test on the necessary HW (e.g. pa8800 or
Astro chipset or 712).

cheers,

ps. Kudos to Karl for pointing out the abuse.
