| Isn't it obvious that the discussion about forks is both related to |

| cron *and* useful on its own? |

I think there's some misunderstanding (or otherwise trolling). |

There's no discussion as there are no competing forks. There is discontinued |
| 10 |
(judged by upstream and bug activity) project and there is follow-up project. |

| It's not really possible to view an entire thread as a single item. |

| Life is more complicated than that, for good and bad. |

| Finally, consider that even if what I write makes you personally |

In this particular thread, lecturing us on forks (in ex. not always being |
| 19 |
automatically profitable), while at the same time likely being unaware of |
| 20 |
status of vixie-cron development and its Gentoo maintenance story, then |
| 21 |
trying to get what we define as 'dead upstream' in pretentious one-liners like |
| 22 |
someone's life depended on it is what Markos called it - useless - not 'personally |
| 23 |
uncomfortable'. |

| You can only decide what is useless for you - and I don't care even |
| 26 |
| if you think that I'm useless for Gentoo (I didn't say that you've |
| 27 |
| said so, I am only saying if!) but I do care if you claim that your |
| 28 |
| opinion is representative of the entire community, as you did above. |
| 29 |
| That's not cool. |

Neither is trolling. Please be so kind and discontinue this practice. |

Thanks for understanding. |
