List members,
I am not sure if it is just I, but there seem to be a prevalent amount of elitism on this list, and as such I think this is a good time to make note of it in the light of working to accept donations.
It will hopefully be instructive to the some several folks (not all of course, but a select segment) of people on this list that are regularly curt, abrupt, condescending, and dismissive of those asking queries of the list to take stock of the fact that their alienating effect is long term and not soon forgotten. Surely, this will impact one's choice to donate.
Thus, if the greater CentOS community is going to try to accept donations from those that see extremely righteous value in their work, why spoil that point of view by proving inarguably a contrarian outlook by treating people on this list dismissively?
I have no objection to elitism, just noting that sometimes it is better to be a non-elitist with donations, that an elitist with less donations.
Just a word to those that think they are wise, but really need to become wise.
V/R,
Stuart
