Reinout, please cool down. This change wasn't most reasonable thing I 
did, I admit, and it is changed back.

About other thing, better read a whole thing  before making such attacks 
and you will slowly see who is a really a bad guy here. Well, I know him 
personally and so I can even understand him, but here in public his 
consequences are things like your mail. And then you believe him that he 
was removed from Swazoo mailing list  (which I think even he came to the 
reason and don't claim anymore). Of course now you think it was me who 
removed him, yes?
