When I'm not working on Debian, I make special effects for a movie
studio. There are a lot of high-powered people like me working for
free here. All we are asking for is people to run our software and be
reasonably nice to us :-) .
Ian Jackson raises a valid point in that he is an unpaid volunteer.
You are encouraged to make constructive criticism, but he _must_ be
treated with respect. Our users deserve respect as well. Thus, everyone
involved with the project is expected to maintain a civil tone, without
exception.
"dselect" is a very powerful tool, and it is indeed possible to shoot
yourself in the foot with it. We are working on the problem. You can
help.
Thanks
