Comment 2 for bug 262614

Hi Iain,

I am so sorry - I didn't realize that backports were not meant to be requested if the package was not already in the repository for a later version of Ubuntu.

I have set just about all the other backport requests to "incomplete" since I can neither delete them or bookmark them for use in future.
Hopefully that will save the launchpad admins a lot of trouble.

But now I had been having trouble logging on and remaining at the launchpad site.
So it has been difficult checking for loose ends.

One of the admins sent me a message calling my submissions "Spam".
Yes - there were a lot of them, and yes - they all were submitted in quick succession.
But I did not do this with any malicious intent that is implied by the use of the word "Spam"

I went to a lot of effort to find, collect, and submit those packages,
and it is very disheartening to have these problems.

I am sorry.
But the system has not made it easy to fix the problem.

I hope to soon be certain that I have sorted the respective submissions and marked then as "incomplete".
I also hope to send an email to you and some other admins,
because this experience has some lessons.

Thank you.
