Hello Dave and Paul.
It's nice that you have all this energy available to carry on this
discussion, but I've grown quite weary of reading you posts. Thus, I'm
probably going to take Dave's advice, from one of his early messages, and
make some new entries in my kill file. Before I do kill one or more
addresses, I'd like to say a few things.
I wish both of them will drop these. These totally useless nonsense only
promotes early retirement of developers since how can they enjoy any of these
nonsense. If any user think this is productive, they are dreaming. You just
have to look at an example after an example in the freesoftware community to see
how damaging few persistent user with a bad attitude can cause. Good example of
this is case of 2.0.31 being delayed because of people who don't appreciate the
time and effort given to freesoftware by developers. For details of this, read
mail archives of linux.kernel mailing list.
(1) If you want to affect Debian policy decisions, you need to convince
the developers, not the users. The user list is busy enough as it is.
Why don't you try the debian-devel or debian-policy mailing lists?
As a user, I for one don't want to affect the Debian policy decisions. If a
user wants a say in policies, then they should become a developer.
