Good heavens, Roman! Please let's back off on the lectures and stick to |
6 |
the technical stuff. When I have a chance to fully a address the |
7 |
problem again, if I still have a problem I will take the information you |
8 |
request and post it, as I said, to a private URL, which I will post to |
9 |
this list, and NOT send it out to a gazillion subscribers who aren't |
10 |
interested. This is the way patches, configs, emerge --info, etc is |
11 |
done on many forums and mailing lists. This is the way it WILL be done |
12 |
in this case, and I'm sure you can deal with it. |
13 |
|
14 |
This is NOT an operation of a few dozen seconds. I will post to this |
15 |
list when I have time to fully focus on the problem. In the meantime, I |
16 |
don't intend to argue with you or anyone else about what does or does |
17 |
not constitute proper netiquette. I'm 69 years old, have been |
18 |
programming in numerous languages and working with Unix since the mid |
19 |
80s, have been working with Linux since kernel v1.x.x in the 90s, am |
20 |
past president of the oldest Unix pofessional society in Austin, TX, |
21 |
co-founder of the oldest Linux Users Group in Austin, have moderated |
22 |
more mailing lists than I care to remember, run a small but well |
23 |
respected hosting service here, and am not without knowledge and |
24 |
resources. I come to this list with this problem not because you, or |
25 |
anyone else "knows more than I do", but because people may have |
26 |
technical insights or suggestions that may help me understand what's |
27 |
going on. Let's keep it to that going forward. |

Jesus, Roman! BACK OFF!! I'm sorry if I offended you, but your |
33 |
response is offensive to me. All it does is annoy me and encourage the |
34 |
script kiddies on the list to take cheap shots at me. I appreciate your |
35 |
insights, but please let's stick to the technical issues. _IF_ I need |
36 |
to, I will post the material you request in the manner I've noted |
37 |
previously, at such time as I have my work on the problem better |
38 |
organized. Don't waste my time, and I won't waste yours. OK? |
39 |
|
40 |
Again, I sincerely apologize if I've wasted your time, or anyone else's |
41 |
on this list, and I'll try to keep my posts to a minimum going forward |
42 |
until I have more to report. Again, going forward, PLEASE stick to |
43 |
technical matters and let's let issues of style, netiquette, etc. alone. |
44 |
Thank you, and 'nuff said about that. And again, please accept my |
45 |
apology. |
