Seniority != meritocracy. And I don't know how much "meritocratic" |
34 |
this list could be, since it is a users lists. The most "merit" a |
35 |
member of this list can get is to give technically acurate, |
36 |
constructive, and polite help for those users asking for it. |
37 |
|
38 |
IMO, the most active users of this lists usually fail in at least two |
39 |
of those three, sometimes all of them. Unfortunately, I don't think I |
40 |
have done better. I suscribed to this lists more than eight years ago; |
41 |
I stopped asking for help here just a few months later. Which is |
42 |
easily explained by people like you that believe that "being around" |
43 |
longer somehow gives more "merit" and that there is a "pecking order". |
44 |
|
45 |
I was under the impression that, being all of us Gentoo users, we were |
46 |
equals, although some of us know less about some things and some |
47 |
others know more about some other things. Hence the smart, mature, and |
48 |
polite exchange of ideas. I didn't know this was a pissing contest. |
49 |
|
50 |
This is a technical help list, related to the Gentoo Linux |
51 |
distribution. Please, don't try to "pull rank" in here; you just look |
52 |
bad, and at least I would laugh at the futility of it. Even more |
53 |
considering I've been around longer: |

Mmmh. Maybe I've been around even longer than 8 years. But, who the fuck cares? |
58 |
|
59 |
It's completely relevant. |
