Hi, I wasn't planning on participating in this discussion but, as you said, it has gotten so out of proportions that I thought it wouldn't be that bad after all. I share Charles' and Gunnar's point of view, I appreciate Francesco's contributions to the mailing list and, even though Gunnar is right about the high probability of his mails including something like that, it doesn't bother me as much as seems to bother other people here. His contributions are always polite, reasoned and respectful, and I appreciate that. Just for the record, even though I might not agree with his point of view about some things, I prefer debian-legal with the presence of Francesco, and I honestly don't see any reason why a ban should even be considered. At least that's my point of view. Greetings, Miry
