YES, back on 6/23/2016 It never functioned correctly for me. |
| 31 |
I think everyone switched to the new list, which I never heard about. |

And here is the reply:: |

So do I need to apply again, or an I on the list? I went (nomail) cause |
| 43 |
at the time reading via gmane.org was working. Perhaps I should just |
| 44 |
change the status to receive the mails? I can test post, if that is |
| 45 |
helpful? |

I've had (5) mentor/sponsers. All quite friendly. Several wanted to just |
| 79 |
put me up for dev. I am flexible, but, I've been put through the ringer |
| 80 |
over a (2) year period. That's why when I hear about a kid, whom |
| 81 |
gaining gentoo dev status would be most benefical, getting hood-winked |
| 82 |
and ran around, I tend to believe their stories; and that angers me. |
