The problem I complained about shouldn't have happened in the first place; someonex fixed something that wasn't broken and made it broken. Your response is absolutely typical of my problem with the gentoo dev community. You misstate a complaint, overreact to it, and apparently feel pretty smug about your accomplishment. No one will admit to the two screwups (first breaking a working ebuild, second incorrectly closing a bug on it). Instead you lash out at those who point out problems. Yes, I had the wrong program when I compalined about the color problem. But the gentoo community response then as now was to lash out, scream and shout, not to actually investigate. And when I finally left the thread alone, you geniuses were still ranting about it three days later when I next checked. You folks may think you have a cool system, and it is in some ways and could be in many others. But I know many people who tried gentoo and bailed precisely because of the shoot the messenger mentality so pervasive here; the self-selected sample you see is meaningless. Go ahead, have another three days' fun. Maybe I'll spark some more tinders in a month or two. I wouldn't want to deprive you of your fun. -- ... _._. ._ ._. . _._. ._. ___ .__ ._. . .__. ._ .. ._.
