I was simply upset that in response to a perfectly reasonable query by someone to the list regarding their failure to get -current to build, yielded a list of mostly unhelpful suggestions by someone else. I simply objected to "explaining away" the problem with the excuse that "you shouldn't expect current to always build". I'm sure that people will always make mistakes, and that's fine, but implication was a bit different than that. louie
