Hi Anand, I just read your post to debian-devel, and here is something that you should keep in mind when criticizing volunteers who spend a lot of their personal time doing a thankless job: - Don't slag them off in public. A personal e-mail does just as much good, as is a lot easier for the individual to swallow than public abuse. In particular, it is obvious to me that you have not taken into account the size of audience of debian-devel. It is a widely read technical list, not a place for you to trash other people's work. Your comments have just given people a negative impression of Anand Kumria. Perhaps, with your own funds and time, it would be useful for you to take a course in dealing effectively with other people.

"Sensationalist stories, however, always have the problem that they're often more sensationalist than useful or true," he said. Hardly out of line, IMO. -- Steve Greenland The irony is that Bill Gates claims to be making a stable operating system and Linus Torvalds claims to be trying to take over the world. -- seen on the net -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
