What should we insist on?
Is there something to insist on on an open list? As I tried to
explain, an open list is kept in check with in-band signaling (posting
yells and good examples.), it can not operate without some loss,
people need for example space to post excuses and those can be
inspiring examples themselves.
This list is what is, very nice mix of beginners and highly
experienced people. The "stupid" questions of the beginners keep the
experienced nicely with the feet on the ground and the thorough
answers of the experienced give the "stupids" something to learn.
How about 20%?
Like clocks and PLL's for 10b/8b encoding as used in Ethernet? A
proven fruitful compromise.
Or can we aim higher?
SONET has about 0.1% but needs far better clocks and PLL's (a one
should be correctly detected after 1000 zero's.) that would need higly
educated newbies and far more experienced developers! I presume those
don't exist. Even Theo talking to Theo himselves wouldn't reach that.
Nope. We can't aim higher when there are people like you, full of
hate, and once again not adding real content.
Theo! you are paranoid, I love you and OpenBSD! Really!!!
