I never meant it to sound like I blamed the core team and the developers in particular. My comments were directed to the BSD community as a whole, be it users, administrators or coders. Actually, the fact that Dillon lost his commit bit clearly shows that core does *not* put up with lacking social skills, since that seems to be the reason he was removed. My earlier rant was aimed at those that seem to think that code is the only thing that counts. If you are not one of them, you have no reason to be offended, it was not aimed at you. I apologize if I expressed myself a bit unclear, I was somewhat pissed off when I wrote that email. -- R To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
