Hi,
I know this shouldn't be sent to [EMAIL PROTECTED], but there is
a few things I still wanted to say to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
(running the risk of being contradictory with this email itself)
a) Let's try not to send this kind of email to the rtl list
anymore. There is a place for these discussions now, and
even though I'll never be joining you there, :-) there IS
unquestionably the place for this kind of talk.
b) if an email is sent to you in private, even though it's
Cc'ed to a few other people, it doesn't give you the right
to quote it to the whole list. That is usually covered in
Ethics 101 (sorry about the sarcasm).
c) since RTAI was so insistently argued as being inspired, from
its birth, by everything but RTLinux, that is, RTAI has (had)
nothing to do with RTLinux, allowing discussions that address
those two "completely different" subjects might have proven
to be a strange mistake that was made from the beginning of
the creation of this list. Therefore, why don't we split this
list into two different lists: the existing one exclusively
for RTLinux technical discussions and a new one (to be created)
only for RTAI?
I know: for someone that was trying to unify the two systems
I seem very separatist now. But that idea, though I love it, was
suggested by someone else (in a private email) and it seems as obvious
as it's perfect. RTAI is not related to RTLinux; what is good for one
is not good for the other; a bunch of emails are summarily deleted
by those who don't use the others' system; and keeping both groups
together has taken a lot of attention from the technical issues to
the "quote" spelling silliness "end quote". So why keep it like this?
If that were of the general audience's interest, a third list
could be created to disscuss generic real-time issues. But again,
in this later list, one shouldn't expect that specific problems,
bugs, details, developments, etc. regarding any of the specific
implementations to be addressed.
Thanks,
Guilherme DeSouza
