No, I am ignoring most of your posts because I do not have time to read
them. Those parts which I've read are long and talk of nothing. As far
as I'm concerned, your contributions are 90% wasting others' time on
reading what you wrote.

Before you start solving problems in Gentoo, focus on problems with
yourself.

One good solution would be to kick most of the non-developers out of
this mailing list, so that discussion can focus back on Gentoo, and not
on self-pity of one ex-dev diverted so any times that I have no idea
what the topic is anymore. Last I read, it's about who is trolling who,
and why trolling is good as long as you pretend it's important.

Then maybe people will have time to work on Gentoo rather than be
distracted by useless spam. Then maybe they will be able to accept
contributions.
