Your message is profoundly lacking any proposed solutions, however it |
| 10 |
does contain plenty of complaining. That's not a good way to solve problems. |

Assuming that posing to -dev generates magical help or solutions is |
| 21 |
quite naive. You're not the first one to post here, but and you're |
| 22 |
certainly not the first one whose message didn't help in the slightest. |
| 23 |
Thanks for trying though. |

As others on the list have noticed, we are working on fixing things. |
| 26 |
Your diagnosis of us being 'clearly' unable to do so is quite |
| 27 |
unsubstantiated. You should understand that we can't just make a bug |
| 28 |
pile gathered over years disappear in one day. |

Noone's offended here. I'm just saying your email doesn't serve a |
| 40 |
purpose. If a -dev post was the solution, we'd have it by now. If you'd |
| 41 |
like to help in a way we actually think is useful, we'd be glad to have |
| 42 |
you fill one of our staffing needs posted or to engage in the |
| 43 |
discussions we have on the -security list and on IRC. |
