You will instead have to be polite in your disagreements. i have been polite for weeks. i finally had a enough of being polite and just being told, 'it will be release when its ready.' that is not a professional answer. is it too much to ask for an update? > > If this is a problem, I suggest that you find a paid for service > contract where you can be rude to the people with whom you interact. i do pay for rhel. i made the mistake of converting to centos. damage is done. on the next major upgrade, i will return to rhel and will not professionally recommend centos either privately,personally, or in the realm of a business. thanks for seeing my side of the issue and not jumping on the elite bandwagon. i am done. > > Thanks, > Johnny Hughes > > _______________________________________________ > CentOS mailing list > CentOS at centos.org > http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
