To banish Richmond, or to banish bugs? Which is the bigger problem?
Which is more directly responsible for the existence of this thread?
I would encourage looking at "net" bugs: bugs fixed, versus bugs
introduced or regressed, during a time period. In development there are
always bugs, and there are always fixes. Both the number of bugs and the
number fixed are pretty impressive. Comparing the two (which takes a
while, as we're still finding old bugs) might be more meaningful than
promoting either on its own.
Not sure about "net" Richmonds. :)
I think reducing net bugs would be a plus all around, and would make a
good impression on new and old customers. I care about LC, use it
exclusively, and want the best for it.
Reducing net Richmonds could be pleasant superficially (ah, the peace,
the lack of random vulgarities, witty insults, and topic stew) but might
risk losing the occasional valuable insight. Not to mention an LC
teacher and Unicode tester and all-around issue awareness raiser. And a
longstanding part and practically parcel of this list community, whose
missing presence might be felt.
LC can and will do as they wish, and some order and decency must be
maintained on any list for that list to survive, but that's my 2 cents
as an LC well-wisher and thinking only of what LC stands to lose or
gain, not for myself.
I'm part Scottish too, you know? Our genetic curse may be that we bottle
in all our opinions (the very few we have) and keep it inside our entire
lives, and never express ourselves in the least. (Ha ha.) For several
years on some occasions with fairly wild threads I've wanted to joke:
for goodness sake, speak up for yourself! But I rarely chime in here.
I'm writing this email now, just in case it's the last opportunity to
say that.
Hello and bye for now, to everyone, back to work....
Best wishes,
Curry K.
