of course, i never asked for it to be deleted completely, just closed with
which i meant suspend though there isnt much difference between no write
permission and no account its just a little easier to enable it again

again of course yes, i never questioned uaus abilities just that he
completely ignored every rule he didnt like and every developer no matter
how overwhelming the majority
there where cosmetic-functional mixes
gcc 2.95 breaks and unwillingness to correct it
copies with no svn cp
ignoring unanimous request to revert
and maybe others? i didnt review most commits from uau
