Please take a bit of time to cool off if you need it, then apologize, or if you choose not to do that, refrain from further posts to the list. (I don't necessarily agree with all he posted and in fact had some of the same questions you did about optional being made non-optional, but (despite the "little world" comment which I agree was going a bit far, but just because he did, you didn't have to go one worse) he wasn't getting personal to the degree you did above, and the elements of your reply above simply have no place on this list. If indeed it is more than you can stomach and you can't at least be polite and avoid going personal, you really do need to consider getting off the list. The list has been rather better lately as to their credit people /have/ been keeping it civil despite obviously strong disagreements. There's no place for this sort of personal name calling by analogy on this list now, and despite past history to the contrary, never was or at least never should have been. So if you insist on taking it to that level, do it elsewhere.) (Just to make clear I'm just a gentoo user and list participant too. I've no authority to kick you from the list, but I can make clear that as part of the gentoo community, /I/ don't like that behavior, and believe it far enough out of bounds to ask for an apology. What others with said authority do after that isn't up to me.) -- Duncan - List replies preferred. No HTML msgs.
