No, your position isn't extreme. It is simply because you do not pull your punches or pad out your answers with social fluff that your answers come across as a bit harsh sometimes. It may not be immediately obvious to everyone that you keep answering questions because you deeply care about the Linux Audio community. In the same way, it may not be obvious that the occasional digs you may receive from some of the more er, light-hearted members of this community are slightly twisted acknowledgements of the value of your contributions. Dealing with piss-taking creative lunatics is all part of the territory. ;) -- cheers, tim hall http://glastonburymusic.org.uk/tim "Ashes, ashes, all fall down."
