Hey, take it easy dude, take a chill pill or something.  Like these guys said they 
do it as a volunteer effort and share with us for free.  If you insulted their country
or their mother they would probably just yawn and say so what?  But insult their 
work and it's fighten time.  If Sergey wanted to contribute something he went about it the wrong way.  Now your trying to get a point across in absolutely the
wrong way too.

Maybe your remark will be construed as not insulting their work and you will 
more or less be ignored, but then again maybe not.  If you continue with these
type of rants then you better break out the Redhat disks maybe you'll be 
happier there.

These people have long memories and when or if you really need help with 
something and your job or reputation is on the line, well then you kinda burned
that bridge didn't you.  So please remember, even though at times these guys
sound kinda snippy, you have to remember what they are trying to deal with is
enormous.  Now top that off with someone who is being obnoxious and you get
instant flame.  Sergey was being obnoxious and he understands and
communicates very well in english, the thread was not about language, but about being polite and providing info if you want help.

Now let's drop it and get back to work, please.
