The two replies before yours took it to that level. By "We'll see you around" I really did mean that in a literal sense. I do actually attend conferences (and even their crappier counterpart the "virtual" conference until this COVID stuff is done). I personally know many of the people on this list. So when I say "I'll see you around". I mean "no hard feelings if you're not running a Red Hat OS next time I see you." I re-read it several times and I don't understand how that sounded condescending, but I'll take your word for it. -Mike > > Also, could everyone learn to trim their replies? > > -- > Humans hate to admit error even as they stand there, black and smoldering, > with > the stub of a cigarette in one hand, in the middle of a wide crater > containing > them and the remains of a sign that once read "DANGER: VOLATILE > EXPLOSIVES". > > -- James Nicoll (1961-), Canadian freelance game and speculative fiction > reviewer, Usenet article (2005) > _______________________________________________ > CentOS-devel mailing list > CentOS-devel at centos.org > https://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos-devel > -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
