16 Joseph,

18 Folks that work on precise computer problems are often "raw" with
19 one another. "Sarcasm" is an ointment that soothes the pain
20 of running Gentoo. Verbal abuse develops "thick skin" and most
21 here on Gentoo User have "thick skin", imho. Devs on this
22 list often question the gentoo-user base to ferret out if they
23 need to modify docs, codes or semantics at Gentoo, or if the user
24 needs. Sometime it does resemble a court room.
25
26 "Alan's school of admin abuse" type of treatment to motivate
27 an excellent user base is not uncommon.
28
29 That said, the amount of questions and bandwidth you have incurred
30 on this group, does warrant administrative incursion into you
31 admin policies, imho. Maybe, just maybe, folks actually care
32 that you are wisely successful with Gentoo?
33
34 For example since you are distributing, you really need to keep
35 binaries packages on at least one system. I nuked python, some
36 years ago. It was only the files on another similar system that
37 prevent me form a new installation of the system.
38
39 Besides, I rather think you are being "groomed" to become a gentoo
40 dev, so you can abuse the rest of of (gentoo users) commoners?
