This is missing the point. In principle I can agree with this stance, but what is upsetting is the attitude. In this particular case things would have died off at that comment, if Jeff wouldn't have added the "go away, it's pointless" comment. And I'm not picking on him, it's what people are doing around here for some time now. Very often. Most threads ends up with a condecending message of sorts. I'm not sure if people realize how unwelcomming this sort of attitude is. It's very much reminiscent of the in-group environment enjoyed in the core BSD circles. It is bad. This is not how you build a community, even if you are correct at a rational level. -- Dimi Paun <dimi@xxxxxxxxxxx> Lattica, Inc. -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
