9 I do not want to embarrass or drag another dev into the mud as my mentor. Not
10 till I know I will get a fair shot and the effort actually result in me
11 becoming a developer. It has already embarrassed 3 developers.
12
13 Again what comrel/devrel disgregards when developers open a bug a a mentor.
14 They are vouching for the person, their work, their skills, their ability to
15 work with others. When comrel shoots someone down, that is a slap in the face
16 to the contributor, and to the mentoring developer.

18 I believe heroxbd - Benda XU is willing to be my mentor, as he is working on
19 some Java stuff, and contributing to java-ebuilder project. But I do not want
20 to involve him till the air is clear with regard to comrel, the past, and
21 things able to move forward.
22
23 I am tired of the past repeating itself. Thus going outside comrel before I
24 try to go through them again... Unfortunately recruiting being related to
25 comrel, you cannot deal with recruiting without comrel being in the picture.
