emerge -q definitely helps, but setting "quiet" should make emerge |
| 9 |
*much* more quiet. |

No, but I expect them to have enough sense to look for messages, |
| 21 |
especially *knowing* that we give them, at least until a better solution |
| 22 |
can be incorporated into portage. Whining about it won't bring about |
| 23 |
change faster and really doesn't help anyone. If you want to help, put |
| 24 |
your money where your mouth is and start submitting patches. Adding |
| 25 |
more useless chatter about the same topics over and over and over gets |
| 26 |
really old and gets us all nowhere. |
