Thanks for the great work Mathias but I would like to point out that this
list is fastly become the apt-rpm-list instead of the rpm-list. The
discussion concerning apt is overwhelming. Maybe another list is in order
for those having trouble with apt-rpm. apt-rpm-hotline@freshrpms.net ? :)
Though I think apt-rpm is a great tool, I don't use it and would like to
get back to talk of new packages and rpm building techniques.

A terrible argument. There are better technical solutions to privacy
protection than sending a copy of the same message to everyone on the
Internet, so the recipients can't be blamed for reading it.
Wait till phone spam is as cheap to send as email spam...
