a) spot is not an inanimate object
b) quoting only half the quotes always biases towards your view, of
   course. There is also:
   "Indeed. I'm not necessarily opposed to the repotag being part of
   %{dist} for EPEL, but I am opposed to making %{dist}
   mandatory. [...] ~spot" (and you were part of that thread)
c) contrary to epel's leadership structure fpc works democratic w/o an
   overpowered chairman, so even if spot would vote against it, there
   are still N-1 other voters

And BTW I'm in no mood to start picking up infinite threads with you
again. Really. You want to present as if all the world, but you
blocked repotags, that's fine. In reality it was really you as a major
opponent to repotags that brought us here.

Do I sound like I'm pissed off? Maybe I do, and maybe I am. I just
don't like playing hide and seek or "pass the old maid".
