Have a look at the comment which Mr. Doroshenko was replying to. Personally, I couldn't agree more with Yan. It may seem passive-agressive but I believe English is not Mr. Doroshenko's first language, so I wouldn't be surprised by the "over-the-top" language. (your English is very good, by the way, Mr. Doroshenko) Anselm & Hiltjo, suckless veterens(or at least the ones I see most often in the suckless threads), kept a cool head & have always refused to engage divisive rhetoric(name calling, all-caps, appeals to 1940s facism, etc). The name-calling does make me a little sad("troll", "loser", "Nazi"), along with the characterizations of people's contributions to this thread("troll post", "garbage"). I'd like to think that there are feds(the "glow-in-the-dark" variety) or "competitors" sent to this mailing-list to try to trigger our insecurities & cause suckless to fragment, but that suckless is already inoculated & preoccupied with its own inner-self-criticism to be affected by outside forces. Moderation in this mailing list is highly disciplined & I'm unironically impressed. Thank you. Jeremy
