4 Let's be nice. I'll confess I often don't read everything duncan types,
5 but it isn't like he spams the list such that you can't easily hit
6 delete if you're not interested in his two emails per month.

8 For those topics I'm interested in I find his perspective helpful. Even
9 if I don't always agree with everything he posts there is often some
10 useful stuff in there. I still use his CFLAGS 80% of the time.

12 Regardless, your post would have stood just fine on its own without the
13 personal attacks. I agree that booting into X is hardly the exception
14 among gentoo users/devs/etc. If I were running a back-end server I'd
15 absolutely refrain from booting into X (granted, such as server would
16 DEFININTELY run NTP), but there's no sense having to use startx on a
17 desktop unless you really do spend most of your time staring at a shell.
