I started the replies with a simple +1, and that I had switched to |
| 13 |
eudev... No, "Down with the evil systemd.borg" comments |

As one of the few huge threads that I have been reading. It is you |
| 16 |
that has been taking this thread more in the direction of something |
| 17 |
akin to a preacher shouting we're all going to burn in hell for even |
| 18 |
considering switching the default. While you were obviously more |
| 19 |
emotional, Anthony was very calmly, and clearly refuting many of your |
| 20 |
statements. |

BUT WHY DOES it have to be!!!!! |
| 29 |
|
| 30 |
Why can't we as a group simply respond to something like this with a |
| 31 |
simple +1, -1 and a few pros/cons |
| 32 |
|
| 33 |
Why must it become yet another shouting match. And I'm sorry to have to |
| 34 |
tell you this, but you have been leading the charge in that direction. |

As I pointed out above, you seem to be leading the battle charge. |
| 55 |
|
| 56 |
Why couldn't you have simply replied "-1 I use systemd like most other |
| 57 |
distros" and "It works for me as is" and leave it at that. |

put off till tomorrow what you can avoid doing today... tsk, tsk, tsk |
| 64 |
|
| 65 |
IT IS A SIMPLE POLL of the possibility of switching the default VIRTUAL |
| 66 |
we were suppose to be talking about/voting on!!!! |

Sorry everyone for a little shouting of my own. |
