Well, common sense is not common. Speaking of commonality, I detect a common theme in all the flaming of late. It seems that if someone becomes unreasonable and angry, this makes anything that happened before irrelevant and unassailable. Never mind what actually happened, apparently if someone starts posting scathing flames, they are automatically wrong and previous events are discarded. Real truth is not measured by the level of anger. It's measured by what actually happened, which might be independent of the anger. The only one I've seen posting in this regard is Greg Lehey. Kudos to you, sir, for recognizing that: "Greg 'groggy' Lehey" <grog@FreeBSD.ORG> writes: > This has no relationship with whether your complaints are justified. > That's an issue which will take longer to research. I've no clue into the politics of these situations. If this man and this topic is on -core, there is hope yet. ------ Dave Hayes - Consultant - Altadena CA, USA - dave@jetcafe.org >>> The opinions expressed above are entirely my own <<< A monk said to Nasrudin, "I am so detached that I never think of myself, only of others."
