Hello, I follow closely the Hurd project since a couple of years, and if it's true I don't participate too much in it due to other activities, I still consider myself a member of the Hurd community, and I will still help the project as much as I can.
I, like many others, suffered from Alfred's stubbornness too. Just to show a single example, I remind spending hours on IRC just to convince him to send me the latest version of Marco's xkb patch for the console, the day before I left for LSM, while Marco wasn't available. I needed this patch to show the newest improvements of the Hurd in the LSM - and I was in hurry, having many things to prepare for the trip - but ams made it as difficult as possible just to send me the code. And that's just an example among many... While I do understand, and respect Thomas' decision to stop working on the Hurd because of ams (I left #hurd because of him, too, for a long while), I feel sad of it, and I beg him to reconsider his decision. Please, Thomas, we need you. You are doing a great work on the Hurd project, and you're more than welcome. Don't give up because of ams - that would be too much honor for him. He doesn't deserve it. Your efforts and the time you spend is considered valuable by us, and thank you for it. If it means chosing between Thomas and ams, while I hate to kick people or to ressort to coercion of any kind, I definitely chose Thomas.
