My characterization of the community is spot-on with regards to the way that I have been treated both on the forums and in the mailing list over-all. I go out of my way to provide a document that I think might be useful to others and get nothing but harsh criticism for it. How would YOU feel if the roles were reversed? I wasn't looking for a "Thank you thank you for providing a wonderful document.", however I was not looking for a "You asshole. We have no idea what you are talking about. Piss off." either. And the latter is what I got. This whole thing could have been avoided had he either not responded at all if the message didn't concern him, respond with some USEFUL feedback, or apologize for being a jerk to begin with. As far as the "community" as a whole, go out there and read the trade publications and the publications that business decision makers base their decisions about the community on. They all, pretty much, say the same thing. Open Source is great. The people are not. That's what it boils down to.Well, with an attitude like that, I can say that I don't think your absence on the list will be missed. That's a mighty big chip on your shoulder. It must be heavy.
*shrug*
And YOU wouldn't have a big chip on your shoulder if you OFFERED something you worked for many months on up to people and got flamed for your troubles?

Nobody flamed you. Someone who was likely quite busy asked in a curt way who you were why your message was relevant. The flaming didn't begin until you started behaving like a scorned girlfriend over it. Get over it already. You're simply digging yourself in deeper. Just stop it.
sheeesh....

You know, there's no better way of harvesting addresses than starting a flame war - I think this guy's an address harvester!
:-P

But you have done the same thing. The very same people you have been going back and forth with are some of the very same people that have made CentOS what it is. They have given much more than just months of their time. They give bandwidth and server space to host files, yum repos, and even entire distro mirrors. They spend a lot of their free time debugging and fixing the upstream packages that might not play nice when re-compiled. And they spend even more time on these lists answering questions and helping where they can.
I'm sure that just Dag, Lance, and Karanbir, not to mention other names that I didn't see in this thread, have given way above what they really had time for. I'm sure they sacrifice much of their free time on this project.
And I say again -- Thank you!!

They get free time? Who the HELL authorized that? This must be resolved IMMEDIATELY!
