Once somebody has learnt the truth, most find they can only deny it for so long. :) I agree a lot of the discussions turn into bitchfests, and it seems many of our developers are going out of their way as of late to stir the pot, but its well known that a small minority of whiners gives the majority a bad name( not to go into politics, but take a look at muslims & christians in modern media, its always the extremists who are out there making the rest of them look bad by carrying their name ) Also, I guess if you went into the chambers of your local government it would often escillate into flamewars, at least thats what I've gathered from the media..( .. unless thats only a small minority of politicians making the rest look bad.....) But as a whole, at least in my opinion, you wont find a so well structured community comprised with such a high percentage of people who know what they're talking about. ( I find $OTHEROS rooms frustrating as they're all full of the noobs asking questions with nobody who knows the answer.. its like a damn MSDN blog reply list....'liek..zomg!..vista is so cool' ) -- Kent ruby -e '[1, 2, 4, 7, 0, 9, 5, 8, 3, 10, 11, 6, 12, 13].each{|x| print "enNOSPicAMreil kdrtf@gma.com"[(2*x)..(2*x+1)]}' -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
