I have seen 5 calls for it in a forum where you are not present (nor welcome) in the last 10 minutes. I have at least seen 3 calls in my mailbox. Hint: You may not be Cc:'ed on these emails. My role, as a core member, is to decide how many people have to ask before it is enough to override your "civil rights". In days long past we have thrown out core members because they were tearing the project apart. You're not even a committer, so it will take a lot less in your case. The only reason I replied in the first place was to indicate that you are approaching the line (at least for my core vote). Try this for a month, and feel the difference: 1. When you are about to press "send" on an email which will start a new thread. A) write down what time & date it is. B) save the email. C) For the next 48 hours, research the topic scientfically, revise the email as needed. D) after 48 hours, if the topic is still relevant: send the email. 2. When you are about to reply to an email: A) write down what time & date it is. B) save the email. C) For the next 4 hours, research the topic scientfically, revise the email as needed. D) after 4 hours, if your comment is still relevant: send the email. -- Poul-Henning Kamp | UNIX since Zilog Zeus 3.20 phk@FreeBSD.ORG | TCP/IP since RFC 956 FreeBSD coreteam member | BSD since 4.3-tahoe Never attribute to malice what can adequately be explained by incompetence.
