He (and you) get "removed" when individuals who have decided the vast majority of their e-mails shed more heat than light, and so people decide that it's not worth reading their e-mails. I have persionally made this determination for both you and for Felipe; for you, your participation in this thread was what set the "bozo bit". Now, I'm not a major developer for git, so my personal decision doesn't make a huge amount of difference. But if people who *are* senior developers in the git community decide, on their own, that someone isn't worth listening to, there's the punishment has been inflicted, and this happens without banning someone from posting or removing them from the mailing list. Please stop. Regards, - Ted
