That's nice. But, even those with redhat.com addresses are not

Correct, teh way it should be if tehy make comments like were directed to me,
and to others over the time I have witnessed
3. lilo was dropped from Fedora and is also being dropped from the
upcoming RELv5. As to the exact "why"? I don't have any insight but
suspect it was decided with the Fedora Project Board and Red Hat.
so it has a maintainer but gonig to be dropped
4. There is only one person developing/supporting lilo, John Coffman.
One should ask if John ceased to maintain it, your contradicting yourself, in
one breath you are saying JC is doingit, then in anotehr nobodies doing it
5. You like lilo and totally dislike grub.
twice bitten, there shall enver be a third
6. You have been offered the chance to take up the post of maintainer for
lilo in Fedora as a contributor to Fedora Extras. It seems you're not
really interested in becoming a contributor but prefer to remain part of
the "those that can't, bitch" contingent.
see 4
7. By your own admission the only time you post to the list is " when I
get bored, or feel a comment is warranted".
Correct, I do not post for the hell of it, I actually have a life, most times
I read what goes on in here, not always, and are known to delete several days
worth of posts without reading, if my time is limited.
On a personal note, I do not use Fedora, Ubuntu, Gentoo, Slackware, Debian,
and others in a production environment and it is unlikely I ever will. I
will play with them but that's about it.
You see thats where we differ, I have a tleast currently for many many many
eyars used RH and then fedora as desktops, fedora was trialled in a server
environment but did not cut it, so we gave up and stuck with slackware which
remians stable, and supported for years.
I shall be soon trialling ubuntu on desktop, and will try F7, for reasons
stated in otehr threads which it is not neccessary to revist in this thread.
