thankless? you sir, are the most thankless project leader
i have ever seen in my life.
We thank with code. We don't come shower people with nice words.
We write code.
i have been advocating openbsd since the 2.6 times
and buying cds/shirts/posters since i started making
money. wim can tell you that, we mail a lot, because
except one time, all my stuff was always late :)
oh, and my 3.8 poster is still not here (sorry wim).
Advocacy is a way that our user community can help themselves,
because it means that we can keep writing code.
Oh, I thought you said something nice above, but you managed
to sneak in even more complaining.
i raise controversial issues on misc@ i admit that,
some might even call it flaming, i call it food for
thought. people pretend some questions/issues dont
exist or they just don't ask it, because they get
attacked.
It is not food for thought. It is just you showing that you
believe that when we write something, and then you show thanks
to us, we should show thanks back to you. That makes no sense.
If you wish for us to spend our time thanking people for thanking
us, rather than writing more code, you have got it all wrong.
_i_ started this thread because _i_ think you and some
NO. You started this thread because you like to hear
yourself talk. There is NOTHING else going on, except
for you liking the sound of your own voice, and your own
dissatisfied keystrokes. If you are so dissatisfied with the
things that we do for you, PLEASE stop using them. Go find
someone else who can satisfy you.
of devs are not thankful, that you flame us till we
burn but accept our money. and now you say _i_ am not
thankful. sir, you are a master of words.
No, we only flame losers who whine, whine, WHINE, and then a
week later keep WHINING. "You guys keep giving us software!
But you never say nice words! You suck!".
It is whining. It is NOTHING but whining.
i am a man of principles just as you. so i do what
i believe in. just like you.
You are not a man. You are a whiny child who thinks that
they should get their software, for free, and then when the
nice words are not included they can spend a few minutes to
make personal attacks on the people who spent hundreds and
thousands of hours writing it.
Maybe you are not even a man, because I know whiny children
who are nicer than you.
but somehow we always end up at the wrong wavelength.
you will not believe, but it is not my intention.
The frequency and amplitude of your whining is just too much
for us. Please stop it immediately.
Just shut up!
Amen to the shutup! Thank you, Theo, for OpenBSD. I have
been a windoze lazyass for years. OpenBSD has made me put
on my thinking cap again. They say that keeps you young.
Hope so, cause I'm getting old. Bought cd's & a t-shirt.
Nice about the donations page, too. Will remember to do
so every time I get some extra dough. Anything to keep
you guys writing the great code you do. Ignore the whiners!
Some may misconstrue this as ass kissing, but it's sincere.
Thanks to you & the other developers, I'm almost weaned off
insecure, expensive M$, as soon as my scanner gets here from
eBay. Talked to one of the guys in the MIS dept the other night
at the casino where I work, & told him some of the stuff I
was doing with OpenBSD, esp with network printing & security.
Apparently, they're doing the same thing there. I have no
influence there at all, except for what bugs I can plant in
their ears, like the fellow above. I will continue to do so,
every chance I get. Nobody's more money hungry, probably, than
casinos, but hey, you never know. Maybe they'll spring for some
paid for subscriptions. Thanks again for the great project. As
for me, no thanks needed or expected from you or the others.
The project is more than enough thanks.
