I was gonna say "I!" but it's more like since 2000. When i still paid much attention to the list, i.e. before the devs decided to fork themselves into IRC, i always liked reading stuff written by "greybeards". I have heard that term before applied to people like Stallman (well he's not really the best example, but) and to me it has always meant Old Wise Person. So i like reading Mr Bloom's posts. I was unaware the same term can have a derrogatory meaning (english not being my native language) and to those who use it as such i can only point them to this example: http://blog.pluralsight.com/give-me-those-old-time-programmers which illustrates that people and tech may be old, but they're certainly not antique. Shouldn't this be OT? Cheers, Nuno _______________________________________________ Dng mailing list Dng@lists.dyne.org https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng
