I've mostly stayed out of this discussion, but it seems to be reaching more on personal discussions than topical matters now so I suggest that everyone takes a step back, a breath of fresh air and keep the topics to matters that can actually benefit Gentoo. William; We've all heard what you're saying ad nauseam, and although the current thread is really within the pure boundries of allowed discussions, several people have complained about spamming of the lists. You're saying that nobody really knows you, have you considered spending some time to reflect on how you present yourself on this mailing list and other communication channels? Maybe taking another few minutes writing an email can get your message across in a way that seems more constructive? Pure volume and repetition of issues surely doesn't benefit anyone, and quickly becomes boring. -- Kristian Fiskerstrand OpenPGP keyblock reachable at hkp://pool.sks-keyservers.net fpr:94CB AFDD 3034 5109 5618 35AA 0B7F 8B60 E3ED FAE3
