18 I'm not saying otherwise. I'm just saying that asking for "how long"
19 someone has "been around" to determine his "place in the pecking
20 order" it's laughable.
21
22 Just for the record, and although I'm a systemd user and supporter, I
23 don't agree with many of the things 微蔡 said, and I certainly don't
24 agree with the way he said them.

26 But still for Alan to ask for how long he has been on the list to
27 undermine his point of view, I think is laughable at the best, and
28 cheap at the worst.
