I think that I'm a cooker contributor, secteam member, club volunteer, club VIP member, Mandrake shareholder and a Mandrake customer. Not necessarily in that order. But I really don't think I have to explain who I am. I think my record of contributions speaks for itself: rpm -qa --changelog | grep -i 'reser' | grep -v reserv | more Of course this doesn't count the work I do on the security team or the club. I think you'll find this command telling: rpm -qa --changelog | egrep -i 'stodden|ronst' Fact is Ron constantly bitches but does very little to actually help the development process. Despite touting his 39 years of experience. And he has posted support issues here. Consider his rants about: * 8.2 disappearing off the mirrors (they didn't really disappear he just didn't know what he was talking about) * hdlist2.cz... (I'd call this a support issue since it was just an error in the 9.0 release tree. Really has nothing to do with cooker, cooker didn't even have this problem). * His video card issue which he never bothered to report until just now. Now that we actually see what it is... it doesn't look like a bug to me. Looks to me like he has a motherboard that has built in sound that XFree86 thinks is a display device for some reason. And when I say a bug I mean a Mandrake bug. Looks like a bug in 4.2.1. To top it off it looks like the workaround is practically suggested to him in the logs. Further with his 39 years of experience he couldn't even read the log right. It says it couldn't find the Device SECTION not couldn't find the Device. And if it is a bug in 4.2.1 it should be reported to the XFree folks. So yeah I'm on his ass. But that's because he's constantly on ours about everything. Seems only fair that he get his fair share of it back. However I still don't think I'm posting drivel. And the vast majority of my posts are not carping. If anyone is carping on this list it's Ron. And if you can't see that then you really need to go read the list archives some more. -- Ben Reser <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://ben.reser.org Never take no as an answer from someone who isn't authorized to say yes.
