Yeah - well tough

That doesn't make for real accountabilty let alone allow for say,
criminal prosecution if you frauded the public.

Instead, what is needed is like EVERY OTHER PERSON HAS DONE when
undertaking a project on this scale which requires public support, that
they identify themselves and their relationship to whatever organization
that they are working under.

So far I don't trust you because not only had you refused to identify
yourself and operated for nearly a week as an alias on the list, but
because you put out misleading statements, (such as you represent a
old unix system admins) and actually, since you SEEM
to be a one man operation functioning under the guise of DYNE.ORG, your
still making misleading statements and avoiding a simple clarification
which could have put this whole thing to bed quite a while ago.

The goals need to be clearly stated, BTW. It wouldn't hurt, as a matter
of fact, to even have some of them debated since forking from a systemd
version of debian is COMPLETELY DIFFERENT from "Init Freedom"..whatever
that is

BTW - I don't care if you like government ID cards or not. I care that
you are accountable and that those who will put in the effort to do a
massive port won't be screwed by a nutcase, or a criminal.

Instead of coming out forthrightly, you've continued to dodge the issue
of accountability, identification, and honesty. If I didn't think you
weren't just nuts, I would be more concern that your criminal. But I'm
leaning to think your just nuts.

Regardless, the first order of business needs to get the house in order
and delegate responsibility and accountability to an independent
organization for its stated purposes. The people serious
about doing this should just port this off to a neutral infrastructure,
get together and decide how you want to govern this development.
