Don't give up hope..

I'm only a lurker here, so just speaking from observation, not on behalf of
anyone: most developers here appear to be extremely busy people devoting
their little precious free time to openvpn. It took sometime for me to
realize that. Just be patient and you will get replies. If not, rephrase
and post again..

In fact, in my experience, this is one of the few lists where you seldom
get a rude response or a slap on the wrist for mistakenly posting to the
wrong list, or for asking a trivial question. You may know how caustic is
the atmosphere of many developer and user lists. People here are very
polite but can be very slow to respond, that just how it is..

Also I think we need more experienced users in the users list to take care
of questions that don't need the developers' attention.

Did I say don't give up?

Cheers,

Selva
