And please don't tell me you're not proud of being a Gentoo dev, and it doesn't help you personally in your careers. You're a bunch of selfish malcontents according to your definition. Some coders know that without users their code is worthless. NFC why anyone would want to be a ``dev'' like you outline. If you don't like it, ignore it. BTW I sincerely hope that isn't _all_ that motivates you, Mr Gaffney. Doing "anything [you] want, whether the user community at large likes it or not," is a recipe for disaster for _any_ software project. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
