This "life lesson" was meant to be just that -- something for you take away and digest. I do sincerely apologize if I embarrassed you; it was a bad call for me to write what I did. I now realize, however, it seems quite likely that you could benefit from some talking with someone about things, as you seem quite angry: "I don't mind if you feel the need to form a defensive posture on being told you posted a load of handwaving junk." My original intention was not to put down you or the project, it was merely to generate some discussion. It's just not worth it. Seriously, best of luck; I have nothing against you and wish you well. ======================================= David-Paul Niner, RHCE dpniner@xxxxxxxxxxxx Florida, United States of America Public Key for GPG key 1FCE01A2 available from http://www.dpniner.name GPG Fingerprint for key 1FCE01A2: 9147 2826 BF20 962D C53E 6B1C 97FD 77A6 1FCE 01A2 ======================================= > >> "If you want to foster discussion, please issue considered > >> argumentation, not unreasoned bulletpoints." > > > > Life Lesson #0: This is just the sort of response that causes people to > > assume defensive postures. > > I don't mind if you feel the need to form a defensive posture on being > told you posted a load of handwaving junk.
