Anyway I got real sick of your attitudes and manners (i. e. no time windows, just empty promises never to be fulfilled and so on..). It feels real sucking up with you everytime one feels that you do not have any clue to solve problems that indeed are existing! If you still claim to be a core maintainer then please show people that you indeed provide the virtues of a real core maintainer. Otherwise stay away from claiming to be one! The basic virtues are: 1. reliability and 2. high communication level! And please stick to one basic rule or simply leave it and get outta here: You personally are measured by your positive results (i. e. producing well functionable and effective good drivers, no disfunctionable crap, whatever device it may be!) Regards Uwe P. S.: Above all my criticism on you personally I still share the basic thought with you that Mauro "the horse" Chehab is, regarding his real capabilities and his basic attitudes towards a common linuxtv project, just another "Apparatschnik" mismatch that absolutely noone needs! The basic rule of mismatch is: Every fish starts stinking from the head down to the tail, not and never vice versa!! And this goes for Mister Johannes Stezenbach too!!!! > _______________________________________________ > linux-dvb mailing list > linux-dvb@xxxxxxxxxxx > http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/linux-dvb _______________________________________________ linux-dvb mailing list linux-dvb@xxxxxxxxxxx http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/linux-dvb
