Research someone named Theo Deraadt and go see where his continual complaining about Sun has landed him. He gets generally ignored, and Sun is extremely reluctant to deal with or help him. Alternatively I try to be pleasant and helping to Sun rather than berate them every time they don't do exactly what I want. I think I achiever better results than Theo does. This is an issue of how to deal socially with other people and entities in a cooperative rather than an anti-social and confronting manner. Sun started to help me a lot because I engaged heavily in the former rather than the latter. Years ago I used to do the "LOUDLY and PUBLICLY" thing too, I generally got ignored and nobody wanted to help me, just like Theo. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe sparclinux" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
