I (and many others) have been disturbed by the rather nasty nature of a number the posts going under the subect "Show me the money". If these people do have valid complaints (and from what I can tell, they are rather petty) they should express them in a much more civil and considerate tone.
Debian will only continue to exist and thrive, if it has the goodwill and generosity of many people to live on. To date, the positive community spirit displayed by the Debian community has been quite amazing. I have been very impressed. However the kind of slanging match that we've witnessed of late is the type of thing that can seriously eat into this spirit of goodwill and generosity. I would like to echo others in expressing my great gratitude towards the Debian developers. They've done a great job! I'd especially like to express my thanks to Bruce Perens for the great work he has done and to let him know that it is appreciated, even if it doesn't always seem that way. Once again, thanks and keep it up, Mark Phillips. _/~~~~~~~~\___/~~~~~~\____________________________________________________ ____/~~\_____/~~\__/~~\__________________________Mark_Phillips____________ ____/~~\_____/[EMAIL PROTECTED] ____/~~\HE___/~~\__/~~\APTAIN_____________________________________________ ____/~~\______/~~~~~~\____________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________ "They told me I was gullible ... and I believed them!" -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
