Do you really think it is *my* job to "fix the problem"? I am just a |
| 25 |
simple user who had simply a simple question while you are the "Design |
| 26 |
lead". Additionally it would be more than just "a few minutes", because |
| 27 |
I can't speak python. |

Why do you bother the time if it is too much for you? I don't understand |
| 36 |
that. |
| 37 |
|
| 38 |
|
| 39 |
I've thought if I have a question I can mail to this list and get some |
| 40 |
help from _users_. I didn't excepted that there's a very nice "Design |
| 41 |
lead" who answers with something like "what makes you think the CD |
| 42 |
*would* login automatically?", only if I had asked. |
| 43 |
|
| 44 |
In the out-of-date template specfile there was some sentences I've read. |
| 45 |
And what makes you think the users *know* that the templates are |
| 46 |
out-of-date? |
| 47 |
|
| 48 |
You had begin to argue, while it was just, not more, not less an answer |
| 49 |
to the "what makes you think the CD *would* login automatically?" Why |
| 50 |
should I bother time if I had only a question? It also would reduce the |
| 51 |
flexibility if I implement such a function. That was your argument. |
| 52 |
|
| 53 |
Maybe I should ignore such mails from you, if I except help from |
| 54 |
_users_. Maybe I should also ignore all the mails from you assigned to |
| 55 |
me for this thread. I don't know yet, but I'll see and you'll see. |
| 56 |
|
| 57 |
I've to do better things than argue with you, and I hope you too. |
| 58 |

Thanks and bye! |
