This is a bit harsh. From my, perhaps faded, recollection it was more
along
these lines.
" Brian: I have this new driver that I think works better than the existing
one.
FBSD: Driver, We don't need no steenkin driver. We already have one that we
think works fine."
I also seem to recall a William_something_or_other? Who had a
replacement
driver for sio who was also told to take a hike about a year ago as well. It
seems
there's a little bit of NIH in the serial department. I only bring this up
to remind
people on core, that when outsiders contributions are either ignored,
disparaged,
or inadvertantly lost or dropped on the floor for whatever reasons, It's no
wonder
that they develop sour grapes and pick up their marbles to go elsewhere.
Just something to keep in mind and perhaps work on improving.
