Agreed. But it can be made a pleasant experience... or not. Why make it |
| 10 |
an experience that people have to be dragged kicking and screaming into, |
| 11 |
when if it wes presented a bit differently, people might actually /want/ |
| 12 |
to cooperate for a better gentoo, even if it's sometimes more work for |
| 13 |
them personally? |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
That's all I'm saying. It's being made a whole lot less pleasant that it |
| 16 |
might be... for what reason? Just to satisfy someone's ego that they're |
| 17 |
right and can /force/ compliance? Yuck! |
