without discussing things with you, you're remarkably flippant about removi=
ng=20
services that people depend upon with no notice or discussion.  Perhaps the=
re=20
could have been a resolution to this to make everyone happy.  For example,=
=20
simply taking your server out of the ".kde.org" namespace, or adding a=20
disclaimer that the machine was not hosted by KDE,  would have resolved my=
=20
concerns nicely, and then you could put whatever advertisements you want on=
=20
it.

Instead, you just take services down.  I see all of your points, and I=20
understand where you are coming from, but you should not have put up servic=
es=20
that you knew people would depend for if you weren't prepared to discuss an=
y=20
issues that people might have with the way that you managed them.

Because of this, I think it is probably best all around that KDE finds anot=
her=20
place to host webcvs and anoncvs.  I'm sorry it had to come to this.
