Bill, the guy already sent a public email with personal stuff.  He will 
have enough punishment with anyone being able to google for it.

For anyone that is tired of him, my suggestion is: email filter or 
killfile.  That suggestion goes to Brandon too (to filter Sebastian or 
whatever was his name).   End of story.

The reason why I would vote to keep Brandon is, that, unlike that guy, I 
found two or three things he did that I found/find useful on this list 
(and why I sometimes answer his posts).

a) He surfs the web... a lot.  Thanks to him I found out about premake 
and buildr (both of which I had no clue existed).  I have yet to find 
something he linked to truly useful, but there's a chance he'll stumble 
upon it, even if by sheer chance.  He certainly found cmake before I did.

b) In the past, he did raise some valid issues with cmake.  He was the 
first to notice bad mingw/msys support, for example.  He was first to 
point out regexp issues.  And since he seems to only code in cmake, he 
seems to find a lot of (minor) bugs.

c) I actually took the time to look at his mozilla translator (what can 
I say? boring day).  It is not great or something I would use.  But it 
is certainly above totally clueless levels.  I would rather keep him 
around and help him with his code (and for those that are better than 
myself at it, with his people skills too).
