I'm afraid that your sentence above cannot be parsed grammatically. If you meant that I *have* determined that some people here are suffering from various misconceptions, that's correct. Given that fact and the first > paragraph of your > response below, I think you can figure out why nobody > on this list will > reply to you again. Predicting the future (especially the actions of others) is usually a feat reserved for psychics: are you claiming to be one (perhaps like the poster who found it 'clear' that I was a paid NetApp troll - one of the aforementioned misconceptions)? Oh, well - what can one expect from someone who not only top-posts but completely fails to trim quotations? I see that you appear to be posting from a .edu domain, so perhaps next year you will at least mature to the point of becoming sophomoric. Whether people here find it sufficiently uncomfortable to have their beliefs (I'm almost tempted to say 'faith', in some cases) challenged that they'll indeed just shut up I really wouldn't presume to guess. As for my own attitude, if you actually examine my responses rather than just go with your gut (which doesn't seem to be a very reliable guide in your case) you'll find that I tend to treat people pretty much as they deserve. If they don't pay attention to what they're purportedly responding to or misrepresent what I've said, I do chide them a bit (since I invariably *do* pay attention to what *they* say and make sincere efforts to respond to exactly that), and if they're confrontational and/or derogatory then they'll find me very much right back in their face. Perhaps it's some kind of territorial thing - that people bridle when they find a seriously divergent viewpoint popping up in a cozy little community where most most of them have congregated because they already share the beliefs of the group. Such in-bred communities do provide a kind of sanctuary and feeling of belonging: perhaps it's unrealistic to expect most people to be able to rise above that and deal rationally with the wider world's entry into their little one. Or not: we'll see. - bill This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
