ad hominem? since you obviously need to re-read this, here you go: so your argument is that because debian isn't going in the direction that you want, all other considerations should be abandoned? mounting criticism? you adding your two cents to one other guy? as far as working with the maintainers to squash bugs, you seem to have 8 active bug reports but i don't see where you worked with the maintainers to squash bugs beyond the initial report. your collection of debian-centric whitepapers is a collection only in the most minimalistic definition of the word in that it consists of two basic installation advisories that hardly show evidence of anything near the effort that the word maintain, in the context of debian, normally implies. since, apparently, none of the packages with which you are familiar requires your input, it does appear that your current capacity to contribute is limited to providing this flamebait. do you really think that this, particularly given the rude and condescending tone you adopt, is a valid productive contribution? where's the ad hominem attack on you in the above? as it stands, since you haven't presented any valid justification for your ad hominem attack on the maintainers, you might want to move away from that window. btw, do you want to shed any light on why your last post directed to me was routed via hungary? or why the ip address for www.metaconsultancy.com belongs to a block assigned to the university of washington? or why there are no client testimonial references at that site? after all, you did allege some manner of professionalism. i'm merely drawing your attention to the fact that it can't be verified. ben -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
