Joerg consistently conducts debates in this manner, consistently does not answer direct questions and consistently does not back up his statements. Hence the overriding opinion in the free software world that despite Joerg's undisputed coding skill (he truly is an excellent coder - read his stuff) and his considerable knowledge in this field, he is impossible to work with unless you agree to agree with him. The pain of trying to work with him dwarfs the benefit of using his code. -- Alan McKinnon alan dot mckinnon at gmail dot com -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list
