Re: Roberto's unhinged activity (was: security alerts in busybox)

It seems I don't receive mails from Roberto anymore, so I missed
something here. Maybe it's because I added him to my ">/dev/null"
rule. Too bad.

free.fr is effectively owned by Free, which was Illiad at its
inception. It's a French telco company (hence the .fr) that proposed
free for-life email accounts for a few years in the pre-DSL era. I'm
French and old, for that matter, with a bit of taste for free-for-life
things. That would explain.

And yes, this is me, Emmanuel Deloget. I don't know why gmail put this
email as a spammer. It has an history that, I think, predates even
gmail (I have used this email since year 2000, and most importantly, I
have used it to collaborate with multiple open source projects since
then, including gtk2, openwrt, busybox, openvpn and may other smaller
projects (with one stupid contribution to the kernel that was not
well-tested and that backfired later ; mistakes happens :/)). So, no,
I'm not a spammer. I think that gmail flagged this because I failed
recently - I built a lengthy response to Roberto in what I though was
a message to the list, and I only sent it to Roberto. My mistake. I
believe that either gmail thought that emailing some person I was not
in contact with from a mailing list I rarely post to was probably to
start a spam campaign, or that Roberto reported me as a spammer. Or
something like that. Either way, it's dumb.

Roberto, if you ever read this, you are free to consider that I'm a
spammer. I'm not, but I don't really care about anything you think or
say anyway.

Best regards,
