Agreed. > Dickey seems to be a really dick as somebody already noted, > or a really dangerous moron as I would say. Not at all if you follow lynx-dev, where I never had or noticed a personal problem since I subscribed for the first time in 1998. You can't please everyone. Some users didn't like what the mICQ wrote at http://www.micq.org/pipermail/micq-list/2003-December/001025.html , others didn't like foo, and I don't like some developers... > Only because of his persistent moronity Cygwin/XFree became > Cygwin/X.

Well, I don't know what Thomas does in XFree86 besides maintaining XTerm. Anyway, too bad the whole thing moved to personal attacks, which apparently started 2 months ago (at least on cygwin-xfree): http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-xfree/2003-10/msg00321.html http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-xfree/2003-10/msg00322.html It's fine if you don't like each other and it doesn't cause any prejudice to the projects, but better keep the discussion off list. 38 e-mails for such a thread is too much. I think it's time to put an end now. -- How to contact me - http://www.pervalidus.net/contact.html
