Guys, I think you all are being too hard on Doug. Let me quote this part of article I recently came across at Undeadly: "When people actually care about something, they tend to have strong opinions. When you are wrong, you hear about it, very directly and in no uncertain terms. Absolutely no one is given special treatment. You have a choice between being offended and leaving, or appreciating the criticism and trying to do better. The people who get offended are the ones who have missed the obvious; another person just gave you their time in writing out their opinion and correction. They may have skipped showering you with sunshine, rainbows and ponies, but how you feel is unimportant. The thing that matters is the thing they care about, the best way to do it." -- http://undeadly.org/cgi?action=article&sid=20100721125722 That said, I wish we all grow a thiker skin and start actually value the criticism like we did in the old days. ./danfe _______________________________________________ svn-src-head@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/svn-src-head To unsubscribe, send any mail to "svn-src-head-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
