I would not call it indifference when it comes to my submissions. I've been using FreeBSD since September 1999, and several send-pr's of mine were commited by all those friendly folk up there. But what was truly amazing was the conversation and chatting, and the discussion of what I once proposed as a crontab entry for periodic daily/weekly/monthly, which was tested and tested again by so many people that we eventually found all its majestic flaws. This very spirit of actually discussing what you have to propose was what won me for FreeBSD. Big time :) It seems to me that its rather subjective what one feels about the developers of FreeBSD. And we all have our opinions based on our prior experience. All I can say is that at least *I* (and I can only talk about me) am very impressed about the way FreeBSD is developed, and this is one of the major reasons that I stick to it. --giorgos To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
