Please forgive me for feeding the trolls and wasting bandwidth. I know, it makes me no better than they are and this apology is meaningless since I am going to keep doing it for a little while. ....but they are just such cute little trolls with those adorable nicknames and tiny perspectives! Seriously, how can you expect anyone to resist those?! :)
Besides, it is a slow morning for me, and I do not feel like just lurking as usual. :) I will understand if you all think less of me for this utterly juvenile email. I think less of me too. Today is not a good self-control day. :( On 4/27/06, Dakota Jack <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > People do not do "work" around here because it is not rewarded. > The people who are rewarded are political.

Or did you not know that playing the opposition means you are a politician too? > I can remember going into the > file upload section and seeing one of the worst messes I have ever > seen in an open source project.

Then why are you here? Why do you care if not because you love the politics? Admit it, you are just jealous that you are not on the Struts PMC. Come on, a little self-awareness will not hurt. I promise. > If you think that Jonathan or I have nothing to contribute, you are > sadly mistaken. Awesome! I love being called "sadly mistaken". That is so witty and eloquent! Now if only i could be called that by a truly famous troll like Mr. Revusky (there's a little ego stroke for you, JR), my life would be complete. But anyway, it is nice of you to "read my mind" and all, but all I was trying to communicate was that Jonathan and myself had not done any of the work around here. I did not say anything about you or anyone's ability to contribute. (Though I think it is cute that you wanted to be in on the action. :) > We are quite aware of the nature of this beast.

I know that seems odd to you, but I actually lurk on this list because I think Struts 1.x was a decently constructed ham and cheese sandwich. I am also excited to see it turning into a delicious BLT with the introduction of WebWork as SAF 2. > Mertiocracy does not mean just work, by the way. It means work with > merit. This not sold as a "docracy" or "actcracy". This is the second stupidest thing I have heard all week. Thank you for sharing! > Get a clue. A clue? Like the board game? I love board games! Would you like to play a game of "Sorry"? CandyLand is fun too.
