It may come as a shock to you, but some people couldn't care less about those who assess 'credibility' on the basis of form rather than on the basis of content - which means that you can either lose out on potentially useful knowledge by ignoring them due to their form, or change your own attitude. > I'd expect a senior engineer to show not only > technical expertise but also > the ability to handle difficult situations, *not* > adding to the > difficulties by his comments. Another surprise for you, I'm afraid: some people just don't meet your expectations in this area. In particular, I only 'show my ability to handle difficult situations' in the manner that you suggest when I have some actual interest in the outcome - otherwise, I simply do what I consider appropriate and let the chips fall where they may. Deal with that in whatever manner you see fit (just as I do). - bill This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
