Indeed.

However, you have continued to do so, and in an inflammatory fashion --
and that is just not going to escape attention.  As I've indicated to
you earlier -- if the issue is truly at an end, then let it go and stop
with the insults/parting shots etc. (like as just witnessed in your last
message):

a) So support for the xc3028 etc etc stuff wasn't added at the beginning
of the summer because someone had made a mistake and, instead of
accepting that at face value, you deemed the entire situation completely
unacceptable, left LinuxTV, and proceeded to make the same group of end
users  (whose sympathies you keep angling towards)  wait several months
more for a general solution?

That sounds significantly different from what you stated earlier:

or (vindictively) here:

Are you sure that you're earlier comment shouldn't have been:

"The reason is that the xc3028 etc depended upon Markus who had his own
ideas and did not care about other solutions or temporary solutions to
get things done. "

b) The inefficiencies that you have described above are rampant in
corporate environments.  Only there, when you pick up your ball and go
home because circumstances no longer suit your fancy you no longer get
that paycheck.

Then call them out on this.  Name names.  Bring some closure to this. 
Harbouring resentments isn't going to resolve anything.  Neither is
continually stating something along the lines of "oh, its history, lets
not discuss this any more" and then go turning around to call people
clueless, etc etc at the next opportunity that avails itself to you. 
Obviously its not over for you, or you'd let it go.  Bring it out in the
open -- no private message, no personal emails.  Let everyone have
access to the same discussion.  Air your complaints.

So, what exactly is good about LinuxTV?  Everyone seems to be a real
expert on what's shitty around here.  So what's good?  Feel free to
continue this part in the other thread (which you created --
http://www.linuxtv.org/pipermail/linux-dvb/2007-August/019929.html ---
which I agree is more suited for such conversation, and to leave this
one for technical discussion....although I must add that I hope that
your "please stop hijacking the userspace tuner thread" remark applies
equally to the supportive, yet non-technical comments you receive on
your Userspace tuner.
