My client reads Hebrew, but my email address is swamped with spam to the
point where I am losing legitimate emails, especially those that I don't
know I'm about to receive and look out for, as a rule rather than an
exception :-(. I'm sorry about that.

I did not see it. I still don't.

Yes, I screwed up in giving credit where due. Please believe me that it
was an innocent mistake and not something deliberate. The names were
originally mentioned in the context of how Debian operates and the
active Israeli (and ex. Israeli) Debian Developers. It escaped my
attention that it would sound like these are the only people responsible
for user-he. I was not aware of all contributers to user-he, but I was
aware that I was not aware of the full list, and had I spotted that
omission, I would have made sure that the list is complete.

In short, mia culpa. Please, all of you, accept my apologies.

I can understand that.

I will do both, but I doubt the first will have any real effect. News
papers don't tend to print amendments of this sort.
