And if anyone wanted my opinion, I am fine with the occasional (but rare) job posting which is polite, to the point, and relevant to OpenBSD.
But I am not OK with all the whiners and lamers who followed up on that posting with trash talk. That's about 35 postings so far, it looks like. And I feel that I must make it clear that I include project developers in that list of whiners and lamers, since they should know by now that responding helps nothing. Participation in a flame war never helps. Quite frankly, everyone who responded do succeed at hurting our community. It's true. What all the people say about our mailing lists is exactly true. There really are about 30-40 people here who carry out an agenda of hate, quite successfully. > On 1/3/07, Kenny Mann <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > His response was a bit rude, however at least the courtesy was made to > > attempt a reading on the rules page.
