References: <199912042148.NAA04790@mass.cdrom.com> Sender: owner-freebsd-hackers@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG :Actually, you may recall that when you first brought this up this time :around, I (and others) _did_ try to find out what you were actually :unhappy about. : :Spectators will note that you haven't actually given us anything useful :to work with; no PR numbers, no code fragments, in fact nothing :whatsoever of any substance. : :Thus, I feel quite comfortable in reassuring other developers that your :hysterical complaints shouldn't be taken as a cause for alarm. If and :when you have something that actually looks like it might be enough :evidence for us to work with, we'll take you seriously. It wasn't hysterical until other people (not the original poster) made it that way. Frankly, Mike, your initial response to Dennis's initial posting left a hellofalot to be desired. Simply stating, in a snide way, that there was not nearly enough information is not helpful if you do not describe the type of information you think would be useful. Presumably the original poster (Dennis) did not know exactly what kind of information was needed (that he could also supply, since he is (and said he was) not a kernel hacker). Dennis made this quite clear in his initial posting and got nothing but hell from you. -Matt Matthew Dillon To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
