Absolutely not. I feel no reason to restate something simply because someone wants to tear it apart and make it literal. My point still stands. I work on Gentoo because I *love* it. I, too, work on things I personally don't like/use, but the reason that I do it is because I love doing Gentoo development as a whole, not because some suit somewhere *told* me to do it. Like I said, I do Gentoo development because it scratches my personal itch. The fact that thousands of other people can benefit from my work is an added bonus, but it is not my reason for doing it. I truly enjoy that our users not only benefit from my work, but many times help with my work through their contributions. -- Chris Gianelloni Release Engineering - Strategic Lead/QA Manager Games - Developer Gentoo Linux
