I am not sure whether this proverb (?) can express my feelings and one of my principles, however, I am willing to put it here:
"Condemn the offense but not the offender." ( Tsumi wo nikun de, hito wo nikuma zu ) -- This principle might be really adaptable to Open Source Software Communities, I suspect.

Smell of conspiracy :) I will not be able to that (newsletter editor) wonderful task to the others if there will be any opinions occured at infrastrucure@ *whenever* someone publish apache newsletter (maybe this should be renamed.. trauma).... > > Yes, I knew that you did really take care of the > > mood of "community" and i suspect that you apologized > > because of it.

Sorry for that. Okeydokey. Japanized bearocratic system is (IMO) very interesting theme for those who want to make a study of "bureaucratism", "organization", etc., I am sure. Each components (government officials) are very genious and elite. Really genious. However, they are inclined to be "rationalism" and "careerism". In Economics term (or maybe the same goes for the conceptualized Supply Chain Management), it can be explained by these: "Constrained Optimization"/"Partial Optimization" -- Again, "Condemn the offense but not the offender." ( Tsumi wo nikun de, hito wo nikuma zu ) Without this principle, e-mail communication might soon end up with the meaningless controversies, and full of frastrations.... ... We are cleverer than yesterday :-) ... Thank you, Tetsuya. P.S. Yes, I think I should "take a rest" for a while. I will unsubscribe all the -dev lists which I am now participating, and travel (Not for Yoga in Mt. Fuji :-) in the next month.. I want to go to Okinawa and Kyoto) --------------------------------------------------------------------- Tetsuya Kitahata -- Terra-International, Inc.
