Hello,

I don't know why you people insist on breaking the rules, but whatever, since
you're questioning me publicly here, I'll reply by the same means, until you
cease.

I've never heard such an allegation either, except from you, right now.

The excerpt is taken from the archive.org website itself.
Are you denying facts to make a point?

Nowhere did I say, or for the matter is written on archive.org, that anyone can
replace a binary from http://example.com with their own.

Straw man argument.

Nobody is discussing the wayback machine feature here.

Had you checked the linked download on archive.org, you would have seen that it
is an upload by a user 'wobajk', or maybe you did, and are deliberately missing
the point.

Do you know who user 'wobajk' is or where he got is redistributables from? I
don't.

Nobody is discussing a change/discussion of a WineHQ policy here.

You may find me stubborn, rude or whatever, but I'm only trying to enforce the
already existing rules and policies in the face of people breaking them, and
you people nit pick and question that.

I don't know what's wrong with you. Am I somehow undesirable to you? Do you
think I'm doing it wrong? You can tell me privately. Remember that these pages
are public and my identity is visible. You make your arguments public at your
own risk, as I do mine.

There is no matter that I want to discuss with you, but if anyone has something
to say to me not related with this bug, there is a button to send me an email.
Please, use it.

Regards.
