Mmm. I write some programs which perform useful jobs for me. Maybe they include a browser or a mailer or an init system, I do it to scratch my itch and because it is fun. Then I ask myself: maybe they might benefit someone? So I distribute them, allowing anyone to do the same even after altering them. It could be some of the changes could benefit my way of working but it doesn't really matter as I'm happy with what I produced. So that makes me * Egotistcal * Insecure * Requiring validation * Arrogant It probably also makes my behaviour stupid. But stupidity is in short supply as you two have a monopoly on it and it doesn't look like you you are going to do any sharing. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
